How weird and wonderful the world is becoming...

I have just really set up a blog from a coffee shop without a standard
"computer" ( I used my iPhone ).

Of course it could be argued that this is technically a computer - and
it is - but it is radically different than a standard desktop etc.

The sort of device freedom afforded by this thing is truely
revolutionary - yet at the same time is entirely normal in the
evolution of tech. This HAD to happen eventually. It doesn't really
sink in until you have one of these things, but -

- the Internet is MEANT to be used from anywhere
- email SHOULD be as ubiquitous and readily available as SMS text
messaging
- sites like Yelp and google maps only really come alive when you can
access them from a street corner

I think this is what they call "convergence" =)

It's not without hiccups (I am composing this in the iphone mail
client as the blogger editor doesn't quite work properly under the
iPhone 1.0 OS), but it is a huge leap forward.

And hell - I did register and do all setup on a new blog - in the palm
of my hand!
