First post from the iPod Touch
This post has been written and posted from my iPod Touch. I haven’t seen anyone else make this claim so I’m calling this the first blog post from an iPod. :)

Right, details, man. What did you exactly type it into? I keep forgetting to try WordPress on an iPhone when I go worship ^h^h^h^h^h^h^h to an Apple Store.
Oh, and I’d like to see you do TWO lines. From what I have seen, Safari eats blanks lines, smooshing two lines into one. Yecch.
Here’s a comment from an iPod touch. I wish it had bluetooth and that I could use a hardware keyboard with it. It’s amazing for browsing, though. I’m astonished at how much better it is than the N800, considering the smaller screen, lower resolution etc.
I’m not sure if it counts, but there is an Apple commercial where some ballerina blogs from her iphone while backstage at performances. I know the iphone and itouch aren’t exactly the same, but oh well . . . bah humbug. hehe
Hey, art, was there supposed to be a blank line in there?
This is from an iPhone.
There should be a space between all these lines.
Is there?
James, there’s no way this is the first blog post from an iPod.
People blogged from iPhones (and later touches) when they came out months ago.
Silly.
:)
Every sentence in this post should be its own paragraph, including the smiley.
Here, how’d you get those blanks lines in there?! With even DESKTOP PC Safari, I get smooshed lines — unless I do TWO blank lines. When I tried it with WordPress, it was a disaster:

I did post a Comment on a WP blog first weeks iPhone was out, from an iPhone. Smooshed the lines. Eh.
This post was very tongue-in-cheek about the “first” post bit. It is the first post to this blog on an iPod. :) Mike, I used Safari and posted in the browser.
I have posted on my iPhone here on your comment section with my iPhone; but since you are saying blogging then I guess I don’t count my iPhone comment. :-)
How’s everyone liking the iPhone/touch onscreen keyboard? I’m streaming a podcast on my touch at the moment, so I’m using my laptop for this comment.
I do know that blogging via blogger doesn’t work on the touch, nor does creating documents on Google docs – can’t wait for this to be addressed, so I might be able to use the touch for more than just trivial surfing and multimedia.
One final thing – which keyboard to you guys prefer: the portrait or landscape version? I find that while I am more accurate on the landscape keyboard, that the auto-correction mops up my mistakes whilst using the portrait keyboard pretty well. I also find that having the keyboard noises help with accuracy and speed, because I get some feedback when i do actually hit a key.
Have a good one, y’all.
Mike:
There were no line breaks in my first comment.
There should be one at the end of the previous sentence.
Patrick:
I tend to use the landscape keyboard. I find it doesn’t work very well with multi-line text boxes, because it isn’t always easy to see the part of the box that you want.
I’ve just seen the ipod touch 16GB advertised here in Norway (Elkjøp.no) for the equivalent of 561 US Dollars (3189NOK)!! You have got to be kidding me!
How much do you guys expect to pay?
Sorry, I actually posted from my iPhone back in October. I even was able to use blogger. I just had to go into HTML mode in blogger. However, I do believed I emailed my blog to post one of these.
