BLOGOSPHERE
Mobile Blogging #2
 This was also posted from my Treo.
By emailing an HTML template to the device, I can edit the text and link to an image that is already sitting on my web hosting server.
This requires preparing a group of images that I plan to use while I'm mobile blogging, and then uploading them to the server beforehand. It would still be preferable to be able to format HTML with photos taken at the moment, but that will have to wait for now.

BLOGOSPHERE
Mobile Blogging
 The post below shows how you can post to a blog using a handheld device.
You also have the capability of using HTML, and posting photos (if you device has a digital camera), but you can't combine the two at this point. This is a great addition to the functionality to any handheld using cellular data services. You can receive a message via email and then with some web surfing done on the same device, you can post your research to the web in minutes. Often, questions I receive about tech issues are often worth sharing, and this is the ideal to perform this task without having to wait to access a PC or a laptop.
The application to healthcare is the increased capability for primary care physicians to communicate with their patients. Any topic of interest that would be appropriate to publish is easily done without having to maintain an email list for the patients.

DEMO Post: the text of this post is being composed as an email message, "typed" on the thumbboard of my Treo 300. This email message is then sent to a unique POP 3 mail account. The server hosting this blog is set to regularly poll this account to check for new messages . If there are any new messages, the text of the email is then used to create a new post as you see here.
Thanks to David Davies for creating AssetManager for Radio Userland that supports this function. Some refer to this as "moblogging" or mobile blogging. For converged devices that also include a digital camera, the post can include a digital photo sent as an attachment to the email message.
This vastly improves the convenience of posting content to the web, eventually eliminating the need to carry a laptop and a digital camera, or needing to search for an Internet connection. The entire process is done with the handheld using a cellular data service. In this case, it is Sprint's 1xRTT CDMA 2000 service. Just as easily, this blog and other blogs can be viewed on the Blazer browser provided with this device.
