Can I blog from my phone via gmail?

  Oh yeah, I should explain this post better. I noticed gmail now support pop (receiving your email) and smtp (sending emails), which means I can get and send gmail from my phone.
  
  I haven't been able to make the receiving emails bit work yet, but the sending works great. And of course, you can already email posts to your blog with blogger! Put the two together, and you get a test post like this ;)
  
  The really cool thing about sending email via gmail though? It's archived in gmail too! If I used my ISP email account, I would only get the copy kept on my phone. Having it archived in gmail, even when you didn't login via the web interface, now that's very swish :)
