Hey Bloggers: Get Out! (With TypePad)
Maybe everything interesting in life happens in front of a keyboard. But we don't think so, and we know that's not true for TypePad members, or for bloggers in general. We think you want to get outside and live your life or run your business, while still being able to stay connected to your blog.
That's why TypePad is the only blogging service that does mobile blogging right. So you can say what you have to say, from wherever you are.
The tradition continues today, as we follow up TypePad being the first blogging service to support the iPhone (and, as Apple noted, there's a dedicated iPhone client on the way) by launching another first: TypePad for the Blackberry Curve and Blackberry Pearl.

We've been working to boost TypePad's cutting-edge mobile blogging features for years. And Six Apart has marked milestones as the best company for mobile blogging for years, like showing off our work at DEMO all the way back in 2004. And we've stayed on the cutting edge -- our Vox service is built in to every single Nokia N95, one of the hottest phones available worldwide.
The tradition continues today, as we follow up TypePad being the first blogging service to support the iPhone (and, as Apple noted, there's a dedicated iPhone client on the way) by launching another first: TypePad for the Blackberry Curve and Blackberry Pearl.The new Blackberry client is a free upgrade for every TypePad member, just like the Windows Mobile and Palm and Nokia Symbian clients before it. And as a Blackberry user myself, it's been really satisfying to see how brilliantly TypePad is integrated into the device; I just take a photo like I always have, for example, and I'm seamlessly prompted afterwards if I want to send the picture to my TypePad site. Adding text is just as easy.
It's no surprise that a Blackberry client would be a good fit for TypePad members, though. Even as they're increasingly popular in personal life, Blackberry devices have always been associated with professionals who really need to get their email on the go. And TypePad's always been the blogging service that focuses on professional needs, whether that's mobile blogging, having total control over your site with no unwanted advertising on your blog, or just having a dedicated support team to back you up when you need help.
Of course, you might just be warming up to the idea of mobile blogging. In that case, the TypePad community is here to help: James Kendrick and Kevin Tofel of jkOnTheRun are using their TypePad-powered blog to run an awesome contest. You can win a Blackberry handheld, and two years of service to TypePad.
So, don't wait -- get your TypePad account, get your Blackberry, get the new client and then get out there and start blogging!

Any chance of releasing this as a MT plugin? I know plenty of clients that would love to have it.
Seconded. An MT version would be really useful to us.
Thanks for the feedback, guys! This sounds like a great suggestion, and I'm sure the MT team will like the idea, too. Stay tuned, and hopefully we'll have something for you soon.
Consider that a "third" for the idea. I just ran across this news, and would very much looooove the same capabilities for MT.
Hi.. I recently bought a blackberry.. its pretty cool. Its been almost 6 months since this blog post was published, any update on the MT version as stated above by other members here.
