			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today&#8217;s app is PostBot for android phones. I&#8217;ll be reviewing it on my G1. Postbot is designed to allow remote updating of wordpress blogs.</p>
<p><strong>Configuration</strong><br />
Pretty straight forward&#8230; from the phone configuration. I didn&#8217;t realize that remote posting had to be enabled on the wordpress blog itself (although it sort of makes sense). Unfortunately the only indication that something was amiss was a very brief pop up java exception that hinted at checking the admin page.</p>
<p>Once I enabled remote posting, everything went swimmingly.</p>
<p><strong>Features</strong><br />
I haven&#8217;t fully utilized everything yet, but basic posting is fairly straight forward. You can add new categories &#8211; something that&#8217;s prettty cool (when it works). I had some timeout issues despite having 3 bars on the edge network.</p>
<p>In theory there&#8217;s also picture uploading, but I haven&#8217;t messed around with that too much.</p>

<p><strong>Vertict</strong><br />
This might change as I start to use PostBot more often, but for right now I&#8217;m giving it an arbitrary 3 nickels out of a possible goose (pretty devent app). We&#8217;ll see if the time outs extend to posting new messages, or if any issues arrise from media manipulation.</p>
<p>Also, it&#8217;s worth noting that this entire post was typed up on my G1 using PostBot.</p>
