Cantori.org featured an article comparing various mobile blogging apps for the Palm handheld platform. Apps are listed by licence and cost types, posting and data retreival methods, along with ease of use. The most popular ones seems to support multiple blogging API's - with blogger and Movable Type being the leaders for good reason and have native test posting features.
Feature Comparison The following table is a survey of features and capabilities of each client. Most of the “features” are self-explanatory but I’ve included notes for a few after the table. All of the software can be tried for free and I encourage you to try several before seeing what works best for you. | Feature | mo:Blog | HBlogger | Plogit | Vagablog | | General | | | | | | Version | 1.6 (2004-08-15) | 2.0 (2004-08-08) | 0.21 (2004-09-16) | 1.9 (2004-03-12) | | Web Link | Tektonica | NormSoft | Plogit | Vagablog | | License | Commercial | Commercial | Open Source GPL | Commercial | | Price | 12.50 EUR ($15.50) | $14.95 | N/A | $7 | | Trial Version? | Yes - time delay dialogs | Yes - reminder dialogs | N/A | Yes - limited postings | | Help | Online manual
