Week 1: Mobile Pic Postino

Experiments with mobile picture posting...

As mentioned in a previous post, I just got the new iPhone 3GS. This is no toy people! It's a powerful tool that I'm hoping will help me be all I can be... digitally... not spiritually!

So one of the areas I've been exploring this week, which I had no prior exposure to, is power of the mobile device or smart phone. I've been "playing" with the various functions all week and have tested it's capacity for email, web surfing, SMS messaging, micro-blogging (Twitter), mobile blogging and mobile picture uploads.

The image accompanying this post is one that was taken and uploaded during my road trip to Tampa. Don't worry nervous mothers... I didn't do any of this while I was actually driving.

But pay attention! Mobile devices are the FUTURE! I felt like I was pulling out a giant dinosaur when I whipped out my MacBook Pro to compose this post. Aside from the convenience of its size, mobile devices and smart phones will help bridge the digital divide. While everyone certainly can't afford a pricey computer, many folks find the money to pay for their phones!

PS. For any of you who are following my struggles with the formatting of mobile posts... If you're emailing the post to Blogger, the subject of your email will become the title of your post and will thus be displayed with the proper heading level. Viola.
