Blogging PDA
Device that automatically posts media to a blog | |
I'm not much of a salesperson, so here is the gist:
A PDA-like device with wireless connection to the internet. With this device, you can do the following:
1) Write blog entries with it and the data is automatically uploaded to your blog
2) Take pictures/video with it - the pictures are automatically
uploaded to your blog (maybe some limited editing capabilities) "Hey, look at the police beating up that guy!"
3) Record mp3's - the files are automatically uploaded to your blog. "Hey, that's Joe Sakic at the DMV! I'll go talk to him"
I know lots of PDA's allow you to write notes, take pictures, and record sounds - Further, that some PDA's have internet capabilities through clunky browsers - but it would be nice to have a easy-to-consume interface on a blog that this proposed device consumes to automatically post up the pictures/mp3's/blog entries created by the user. The key here is that the knowledge of how to consume this interface comes BUILT-IN on the Blogging PDA.

Being somewhat of a blogger, and
somewhat lazy when it comes to digging
up my pen and paper when inspiration
strikes, I like this idea very much. |
|

(Oh, the temptation to spam now and
provide my URL! No, I won't do it, I won't.

You really wouldn't need any Internet connection. It's not like blogging is time-critical stuff. Just have it upload content to the Internet when syncing. |
|
| |
True, so just add wireless service to the professional model. |
|
| |
Most blog lets you post via e-mail
And most PDA can send e-mail via wireless internet already
You can send photos and MP3s in your e-mail too and they'll be uploaded to your blog. e.g. blogspot |

My first reaction was similar, to reject this as just another repackaging of a whole bunch of existing technology, but I think if someone did this right - rethinking the PDA/cell phone from the ground up as a multimedia authoring device - that really *would* make a huge difference. I hope someone actually builds this. |

Could be done completely "server side" with voice recognition and a camera phone. |

A standalone service provided by the phone co. or a dial-in service. |

"Hello, new blog entry, record sound"
[hold phone in the air to record sounds]
"new blog text, when I went to the coffee shop I saw kitty and bamoozle, end text"
send image [press image key on phone]
"blog entry complete, good bye." |

Isn't this called a moblog? |
