Tonight, I wanted to take online communication to the next level (for me). I was waiting for my son to finish his drum lessons and wanted to see how much [online] classwork I could complete using my mobile device. I hoped to add to my blog using my iPhone, but found that, at least for blogspot, this was difficult to do.
Those that are familiar with the iPhone will know that you must type on a non-tactile screen and navigating to various parts of a site means that you must select “next” or click in the appropriate text box. I tonight's experience, I could type in a title, but could not access the “body” field, and thus could only send a title (sans content)… not very convenient in a mobile world.
To add insult to injury, I attempted to access our class wiki with my iPhone, but was denied access. This may be a browser issue, as I have experienced access issues using Macintosh’s Safari browser. I have to use Firefox, which is not available on the iPhone. In fact, using Apple’s phone, I am limited to its proprietary browser.
Looks as if mobile access is still in its infancy, which, if we’re to move truly to the next phase, will have to be corrected.
