SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- 05/14/08 --
Six Apart, the world's leading blogging
software and services company, today announced availability of a native
mobile blogging application for the Blackberry® Curve™ and Blackberry®
Pearl™ smartphones that lets users upload photos, manage comments, and
draft, edit and post to their TypePad blogs with just a few clicks.
TypePad customers can now easily capture and upload photos directly from
their Blackberry Curve and Blackberry Pearl phones to their blogs
wirelessly. TypePad bloggers can also use their device to compose draft
blog posts, store them for later editing or publish them from within the
device's trackball and keyboard interface. In creating and saving drafts
for later editing, bloggers are able to use popular desktop publishing
controls with the convenience of mobile blogging.
TypePad members who use any Blackberry model have always been able to post
to their blogs via the mobile browser and the email-to-blog feature. The
new native application for the Blackberry Curve and Blackberry Pearl rounds
out these offerings by making mobile blogging even easier.
"TypePad has always been the leader in mobile blogging, and we have spent
years creating dedicated clients for popular platforms. The addition of the
Blackberry mobile platform extends Six Apart's leadership in mobile
blogging," said Stephane Delbecque, mobile product manager at Six Apart.
"Our commitment is to help our community blog from wherever they are,
powering blogging on-the-go by providing the best mobile solutions
available."
Six Apart leads in the mobile blogging space as the only blogging company
to support over 90% of the fast-growing smartphone market, including
Symbian Series 60, Windows Mobile and Palm. A native application for the
Apple iPhone will also soon be available.
By providing an exclusive TypePad solution for Blackberry Curve and
Blackberry Pearl, Six Apart opens up mobile blogging to the most popular
mobile platform in the US smartphone market. And TypePad's status as the
