So it's time to take a look at mobile blogging again. After switching to Wordpress I thought that life will be easier as there are several freeware clients for Wordpress out there.
Because of time constraints I decided to check two clients. One called TBlogger looked promising so I got myself a .CAB file, installed and... it doesn't start. Well, turned out it does start but every click makes it load something big or recompile Linux kernel or search for the meaning of life or do something equally time-consuming. It took the program five minutes to start and it hung for 16 minutes out of 20. As far as I was able to get the program's actually pretty good (it connected to this blog without any problem, downloaded all the messages...). The only drawback was impossibility to actually write a post, as damned thing just hang there taking up all system resources doing nothing. Maybe it has something to do with TBloger being .NET application?
So I started moBlog again. Setup was a tiny bit harder (I had to remember login URL for this blog, that's all), but so far it looks pretty good. Startup was fast, after initial setup it found both blogs connected to this account. Post categories also were retrivied correctly. The only drawback would be additional scroll bar in the post editor while in landscape mode. You have to scroll down after writing the first 12 or so lines or you won't see what you're writing.
Test platform for this post is HTC Kaiser a.k.a. TyTN II.
