Mobility Is Cool Dept.: The text entry box for AvantBlog is about the size of a postage stamp, but it probably looks okay on a PalmOS device (can I just go back to saying "PalmPilot" like everyone else?). But the ability to post directly from my device might make the difference in making the blog work.

And Another Thing Dept.: BTW, I'm using AvantBlog because I can't get PocketBlog to work reliably. Anyone use this? Have any tips? Sam, you out there?

Blogging Revisited Dept.: Okay, I'm trying this again. I've been thinking recently that the mobile tech industry just moves too darn fast for a weekly column. While I'm still going to have a new column for you every Monday with the usual in-depth analysis and commentary-- or just ranting, who knows?-- I'm going to try to use this as a way to communicate faster, hotter topics. I'm using the AvantBlog channel on my Pocket PC to enter stuff on the go.

So if you want the whole package, be sure to update your AvantGo/Mazingo/iSilo channels to update on every sync!
