Snowblogging on the iPhone

Valfrejus, France - The iPhone is great on the slopes. It plays music while I head down the hill, I can communicate with my friends if I want to meet up somewhere, even watch some videos of the days activities if I am bored while drinking hot chocolate afterwards. Its solid construction also lends itself well to the many falls it incurs when I attempt to showboat down the mountain.

Today, I am adding blogging to the list of things to do with the iPhone on the slopes. After getting on the lift today, I checked my morning pre-slopes blogpost on Computerworld to see if it was getting any action.

A commenter mentioned an embarrassing typo I made.

"Damn! That is going to be there all day!"

Unless I could change it from the iPhone. I noticed that the edit menu was available on the iPhone so I gave it a try.

Perhaps a testament to Computerworld's excellent standards-compliant CMS blogging engine, it all worked exactly like it should have on a desktop browser. The process was fairly quick and simple - I grabbed a video of the latter half the operation below with my Sanyo Xacti camera.


Easy! I even impressed my French chairlift companions...

(Eat your heart out Elgan!)

Next up, I am going to attempt do my taxes on the half pipe.

i too recently took my iphone to the slopes, but found it somewhat annoying having to take off my gloves everytime i wanted to use my phone. just voicing a minor gripe ;)

Sanyo Xacti

I too have the iPhone, as well as a Mac Book Pro. Do you use the Xacti to upload video to your Mac too? I've been looking for a good portable camera to use with my Mac, so a good recommendation would be really useful!

Patrick,
Just got back from a week at disneyworld and shot more video than in the previous decade with my new xacti. Small, fits into my pants pocket, easy to fire up and shoot, 8 Gig SD card and only used 2 Gigs a day. Not the best quality pics but passable and the movies are nice. I made videos with iMovie, watched it on my 50 inch HD plasma through Apple TV and the pic quality was great.
The best thing is it's small, easy to use, takes good pics and shoots great movies so you only have 1 thing to carry. Because it's flash memory, it did well on the Everest ride. Highly recommend it. Great value for the price, about $350.
