Pocket PC Blogging

I am very fond of my pocket pc (Dell Axim X30) and I don't have a computer handy at the moment so I figured I would look for some Pocket PC blogging tools and try a post. For now I have settled on a tool called Diarist . I also tried a tool called Pocket Blogger which I didn't like because I?d didn't have a good way of linking (you had to put in raw html tags). Both tools are free, Pocket Blogger seems only to support Blogger but Diarist supports a wide variety of services. Unfortunately neither tool has a spell checker, but both are free and have cab install files (on device install is very important to me because I rarely use windows and activesync). I am somewhat surprised that these are the only options I can find with limited on device googleing, so if anyone knows of a better option please do post in the comments. I have tried pocket outlook and mail2blogger in the past but since pocket outlook doesn't handle HTML the links aren't clickable. I may try webis mail but that can be saved for another time.


If any of you are in the market for a new Pocket PC, I highly recommend the Dells. They are all much faster than any of the other competition and priced reasonably. The community is also great, Check out Aximsite (if it's not clickable, the URL is www.aximsite.com) for lots of Axim related info as well as coupon codes. I would also keep track of techbargains.com which also lists dell coupons at least weekly.

Not my most exciting post, but maybe I will have time to do more later. For now, back to my AP US History Homework ;-(
