Announcing A Native TypePad Application for BlackBerry®

TypePad’s Mobile offering keeps getting better: Today we’re launching a native application of TypePad for use on the BlackBerry® Curve™ and Pearl™.

You can now use those devices to compose, edit, draft and publish blog posts within the BlackBerry interface. This means you can write posts at any time, and from anywhere – whether you’re waiting for a train or plane, you have a few minutes before your next meeting starts, or if you want to be the first to upload notes and thoughts from a conference you’re attending. If you have a BlackBerry Curve or Pearl you can also take photos and quickly and easily upload them onto your TypePad blog. The camera integration lets you capture images and publish them on your blog in two clicks.

With this announcement, Six Apart now supports 90% of the mobile market, including Symbian Series 60, Windows Mobile and Palm, as well as a web application for the Apple iPhone. We also expect that a native application for the iPhone will be available soon.

TypePad bloggers James Kendrick and Kevin C. Tofel will be running a cool contest on their site jkOnTheRun, which features the latest news and reviews of mobile technology hardware and software. Stop by their site for details on how you could win an unlocked BlackBerry device and a two-year Pro account for TypePad!
