I blogged about this earlier on my companies corporate blog site for Snap, but wanted to add some depth to this on my own blog.
As you may know I got an iPhone the day they were released and about an hour after I had it in hand, it was activated and I was using it as my regular phone… After about a week and a half of using it heavily every day, including on a camping trip over the July 4th holiday weekend… I have a few things that I want to see Apple improve upon…
As I use the iPhone I add user experience insight and thoughts to a Note I have with a running tally of bullets. Its great cause I can make an immediate note to myself in the app while its fresh in my mind. Here is my list in NO particular order…
My biggest gripe though is in the support of Exchange. In all the public discussion of this it was pretty clear there would be support. But, if you look at what they really have its kinda half assed. IMAP from an Exchange system is only half the picture. I need Calendaring and Contacts syncronization as well. Email is good, but not good enough. I really need to see better integration with Exchange! Adding a application settings tab with the word ‘exchange’ is kind of a fake out of you ask me, since its only IMAP email.
All things aside, the iPhone is a great piece of work and I applaud Apple for the accomplishment… Hopefully we’ll see a software update to the iPhone in the near future to add some of these enhancements in…

I am one of those hardcore almost nerdcore users of the newish mobile and web messaging service called Twitter. I also have a few hundred friends and many many people following my Twitter page. This lends itself to being problematic from an ‘I want updates to my phone’ perspective as I would get ‘texted’ hundreds of times per day. I had to ultimately turn off the feature in favor of the web updates only (and then leaving the page open in my web browser and checking it often by clicking reload).
Since its launch I have noticed a few incremental updated, but the service (as much as I LOVE it) still has some latency issues and features are missing…
This is my public posting (and soon to be DIGGd) to Evan and Biz to please spend some time and add in these features… and please feel free to comment here as well on yours!

For all you mobile content developers out there who are aching to ge a good solution for OSX. This is a pretty amazing little app, as up to this point you needed to spend a great deal of time developing WAP/WML sites or set up proxy servers (and develop content on windows emulation environments)… This app does it all for you and on top of it also integrates RSS 2.0 technologies so you can update pages and content dynamically!
iWapper is a tool that helps you set up your own WAP site in no time. WAP (wireless application protocol) sites are a kind of website (in XML/WML format) that can be displayed on many cell phones (works best with GPRS/3G UMTS). Until today, setting up a proprietary WAP server has been a big fuss and tools to set up WAP web pages are extremely rare.
iWapper can do it all for you — and even for free (or for a tiny fee)! iWapper can generate WAP sites for you; not only you can use text styles, images and place links (even download links, email links and phone call links are possible!); iWapper can also store clips from real-world www-webpages in an intelligent way, so that it can update dynamic content automatically and put it into WAP files.
iWapper 2.0 release even adds RSS functionality, so that RSS news feeds can be automatically transferred into WAP pages. Moreover, iWapper generates an automatic WAP index page for you…

Since I have acquired my Vodafone 802se mobile phone I realized that I could finally Moblog! This is partially why I even thought about upgrading my Blog publishing platform. Most of the Moblogging apps use the MetaWeb API for image posting (and Blogger did not support that yet). So, after I upgraded to Word Press 1.5 (which does support the Enhanced MetaWeb API), I was confident that I would be able to start really using the power of the Blog capabilities.
After doing some more serious research on Moblogging and visiting Joichi Itos Moblogging FAQ,, I have found three seemingly pretty solid J2mE Moblog solutions. Each that allows you to write/post entries (and images), they are BlogPlanet, Kablog, and MIDlog.
They are all J2ME applications (.jar files) for ones JAVA capable mobile phone. You will have to download them via WAP or to your computer and transfer them to your phone thru either BlueTooth or IrDA.
Of the three applications I mentioned, BlogPlanet is the only one that supports image postings as well. I was NOT, however, able to get the BlogPlanet image capture and posting to work on my phone, even though it supports it all. When you select the Camera option in the app, all I get is a Yellow screen, and when I click on Capture, it crashed. I had to reset/restart the phone by turning it off/on again.
If you are involved in Moblogging I would love to hear your experiences. What OTHER applications and/or services do you know of and use to do your own Moblogging? Any tips and tricks to the novice Moblogger? What are some other good personal MOblog sites?
my first text blog entry from my 802se. still trying to figure out how to get pictures to post…
