I read this post a while back and (google) bumped into it again.
Some of Steve’s wishes have been answered with Nokia Lifeblog 1.5 (out soon):
1) …anything i can do to an object in other parts of the Series 60 UI, allow me to do from the Lifeblog interface
Done. From Lifeblog, you can reply or forward messages, and send items such as images via MMS or email or Bluetooth. Just like in the Gallery, but better.
2) Sync/Upload via Bluetooth
Uh, you should be able to do that with all versions of Lifeblog. We support whatever the phone and PC mutually support – cable or Bluetooth synch.
3) ability to add notes for that day
Done. Available in 1.5. Really cool too when you add a bluetooth keyboard to the mix. It was one of those features I would not negotiate on. It is a diary.
4) calendar widget integration…isn’t this really just an extension of a calendar view?
Uh… not in Lifeblog 1.5. Sorry.
5) upload to a server – i understand this isn’t a moblogging tool, but it sure could be a cool one! i’d rather just have a safe place to store everything…hell, can i send it to my iDisk somehow? i wish.
In Lifeblog 1.5 we’ve added Posting to Web via Atom. I don’t think you’ll want everything uploaded from the phone, since each image is at least 300k. That’s a long time ($$ or €€) over GPRS. But, we know you’ll want to post some stuff, so that’s why we have Post to Web (it is LifeBLOG).
I am biased, but Lifeblog is the best mobile blogging tool for me (and it’s great on the PC, too). And it’s not just that – you blog from the multimedia rather than adding multimedia items after writing all the text. It’s about sharing the multimedia, so you can post practically any Lifeblog item to your blog. That’s why I like it.
And, after you post, a little post item is placed in your Timeline. That post item has the link to the post, which you can then open to view, email or, from the phone, SMS to someone. I think that’s cool – live it, blog it, tell everyone about it.
But, hey, Lifeblog is not just about blogging. More ramblings on that another day.
