    I'm now getting serious with blogging and now creating a new blog.
    Question, what is the best 'gadget' for blogging that 'compatible' with wordpress?
    I don't want to carry around my old and lowbatt notebook :D , I'm looking for small 'gadget' where I can create a draft and post a new content to my blog wherever I'm.
    I think the Nokia E61 is the best 'gadget' because it have thumboard and wifi, but can I post a new content from it?
    I like the palm TX, but it lack of thumboard, while Treo 650 lack of wifi.

    Or any other gadget that I should consider?:rolleyes:

    Anything that allows you to email will work. PDA's cell phones, etc.

    But based on blogger, I lost most (if not all) format layout (ie bold, italic, list etc). I need to open the blogger website and do the format in there.
    I'm not sure about wordpress because I never post with email before.

    Get yourself a cellphone that has a full keyboard and allows for sending email. I do moblogging to my personal blog using the Samsung Blackjack. First snap a nifty 1.3 MP photo, attach it to an email and type away. You'll be amazed at how fast you can get at thumb-typing.

    any smartphone equipped with a full keyboard, decent camera and wi-fi (or at least 3G) should do the job. It depends on how much you are willing to spend on it.

    As for the one wondering about the lack of wi-fi connectivity on smartphones, it's kind of simple from my point of view: the technology it's too expensive for now and it eats the battery very very fast...
