World’s first Cyber-shot camera phones

In an industry first, Google’s Blogger and Web Search integrate with the camera and the phone’s UI to support personal blogging with a preloaded blogging application. The application allows end-users to create a blog on-the-go directly from their K800 or K790 without the use of messaging services to post pictures and text, and to view their blog directly on the phone. End-users simply take a photo using the phone and choose the “Blog this” option that appears on the screen after the photo is taken. This application is also available for the recently announced K610 mobile phone.

LetMeParty.com

This site allows you to post to your blog (or blogs) via SMS text messaging; for free! When you register, you can add your blogs to your account. You will be asked to for the type of blog you have, its username, its password, and the phone number from which you will send SMS’s to your blog.

That is how we can make sure that only you post to your blog; by checking from which phone number the post comes from.

You can add as many of your blogs as you want, one SMS will post to all of them!

Russell Beattie: Handheld Stylesheets

But the coolest part is every single page has an associated handheld media-type stylesheet associated with it to make browsing via mobiles that support it (i.e. Opera mobile) faster, easier, more pleasing and generally more efficient.

No recoding markup, no “separate and always unequal” access to content, etc. Just include a different style sheet on your server and you can re-arrange your web-standard markup as you see fit. I’ve been trying to find “good” examples of XHTML-MP (WAP2) sites out there lately, and there really aren’t a whole hell of a lot I can find.
