Mobloggin' from Times Square

I really, really want a cell phone with a decent camera (not VGA) and an operating system that allows me to post photos to the web easily. Right now I have the lamest of all cell phones, the LG CG225. The only way to get photos off this phone is using an MMS text message. Give me a break. I want a Symbian phone that can run Shozu, or that allows me to write my own Java program that can upload the images to my own blog--automatically. When these devices become ubiquitous, then stories like this:

Advertisers have long been drawn to Times Square as a valuable place to reach consumers, paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for space on billboards and blazing video screens.

But recently they have discovered that down on the ground, new technology has given low cost, face-to-face marketing campaigns something of a cutting edge as consumers spread their messages on the Internet.

Take the recent display of public toilets set up by Charmin bathroom tissue: Used by thousands in Times Square and viewed by 7,400 Web users on one site alone. Or Nascar’s recent display of racecars; videos of the event have been viewed on YouTube more than 1,800 times. More than 60 people wrote about the event on their blogs and 60 more spread the word — and pictures — on the Flickr Web site.

...won't need to be written any more. Because we'll all be posting those photos, automatically, all the time.
