posting from my treo

Just testing out the Treo. Did you know you can actually reach blogger’s web-based admin area using the Treo Blazer web browser? Of course that also means that I’m hunched over and typing on a thumb keyboard… very slowly. But a successful test, nonetheless.

Videoblogging with a Treo

I’m playing with my new Treo 650 - and discovered that it takes video. So of course, what do I do when I discover that? Immediately play with it… here’s the result of my experiment.
