While blogging on my MBP is quite the pleasant experience, point and click typing on the Wii is as much fun as a laser pointer and a cat. Normally this would be loads of fun, but my cat is fat and slow. In the case of Wii blogging, its more slow than fat. Immensely frustrating is the built in dictionary that wants to add a ‘com’ at the end of each sentence.
While I’ll never be able to live blog from the Wii, the U.S. release of the DS browser will make any hotspot a potential blogging location. The dual screens make it easy to tap and read at the same time.
Granted once we have the iphone live blogging will really come into its own. Snapshots and video from the built in camera and the Safari browser will make it almost too easy. Who will be the first to have an iphone optimized portal? You’ll even be able to pull in location data to tell where you are writing from.
In the end, do we really need blogging to be easier? My own hypocritical stance against blogging says no, but my gadget lust says ‘f*$% yeah!’
blogged on a Wii.
Can you come out and play?
