So there you have it – full blogging on the train. I must admit I’m very impressed with how natural this feels. The whole post, including proof reading, has taken about 6 minutes (which includes ponderous moments of white wine intake)

Monkey is gonna like this ! Oh and during this blog post I’ve taken 2 calls from the office, replied to 3 emails and sent a calendar invite to 10 people for Monday morning. Ladies and Gents I give you the future, and it’s iPhone shaped!

I’m impressed as well.

HerIndoors has decreed that no laptops will be making the journey with us on our two week holiday after the wedding. None. That’s quite frightening considering that I’m used to having a multipurpose computing platform close by at all times. And being stuck with something that doesn’t have a keyboard, can’t print, can’t really transfer files around and has finite storage (though 16 GB is an awful lot).

But two weeks without an iPhone sync? Or a refresh of materials?

See, my intent is to spend the two weeks blogging from around the world. I reckon it will cost me an arm and a leg in terms of mobile data but it should be worth it in the end. How better to mark an occasion.

  1. >>>See, my intent is to spend the two weeks blogging from around the world.

    HerIndoors will make you intend otherwise.

    Here’s to her, I say. May you come back afterwards with just a dim idea of what blogging is. Have some real life!

  2. Hey – so I can confirm that for now I’ll be going iPhone only route. What I like most about the wordpress app is the ability to construct posts offline, so those train journeys that don’t offer wi-fi will still be productive.

    The good

    – offline posts
    – multiple draft posts
    – iPhone keypad makes bogging fast
    – include pictures

    The bad
    – can’t get access to comments
    – can’t add links

    The other bad point of going iPhone only is not being able to get access to new content (ie podcasts) Hopefully before long they will come up with some way to sync iTunes shows with the iPhone only 🙂
