Nice article for those looking to get into moblogging. With all the choices out there, it's easy to get a trifle overwhelmed. Should one go with a PDA or mobile? What about Symbian vs the Palm OS? This is a well thought out list of the minimim requirements for a good mobile blogging device? Reading it over a few times I agreed with most of it except unlike the author, I am more partial to the Symbian OS.

No Nokia - Okay let me explain. For me it is the same reason as working with Mac. Where my personal intuition should stroke with the device’s intuitive interface, Nokia simply keeps bothering me in detail.
Max 150 grams, preferrably less - I hate it when my mobile makes my clothing go askew and i hate those beltclips, so weight is important.
Fast responding and quick (learning) text input - Full qwerty, simple abc or text-recognition touchscreen, I want my device to respond and display quickly what I enter and it must be able to learn new words quickly too (adding new words totally stinks with some brands).
Tri-band at least - I happen to travel every now and then…
Wi-Fi - A must… If I can skip quircky GPRS and UMTS connections (be it for the costs alone) and connect locally to a nice a speedy wi-fi network, decision is quickly made.
Design - I am a sucker for that, as long as it is functional too.
Web-browser - Kinda necessary when blogging mobily.
RSS reader - While this can be done in a web-browser, one integrated in the mobile interface might optimize its userfriendliness.
Symbian OS - I am a Mac user, need I say more?
iSync - Bluetooth or wire, as long as it does the synchronizing quickly.
