Abiro Mobile Blogger, now for MIDP 1.0 phones
And here for some self promotion:Abiro Mobile Blogger is a simple tool for submitting text-based blog entries to Google Blogger. I've now made it work on any MIDP 1.0 phone (at least in theory) for broader use.
It was initially developed as a showcase for how fast applications can be made with NetBeans Mobility Pack. It actually took a day from design to publishing on GetJar. Please note that I'm not bragging, it just shows how helpful the Visual Mobile Designer in Mobility Pack can be and how simple the application is. Most of the nitty-gritties are actually handled by a server-side script that I for the most part already had ready.
It's not been downloaded much (not at all in comparison to my Unit Converter), still if you search for "blogger" at GetJar it comes high up in the list. I haven't figured out why this is so. Don't users want to blog from phones?
I guarantee this specific application will always be free of charge. If/when I add photo and audio support etc it might not.
