Strongly considering the HTC Hero smart phone, as it has a lot of features I’m looking for.

There appears to be quite a few mobile WP blogging tools out there, too. One thing I really like is the fact that the app store is “open” – and you can choose to use apps from anyone, so no “jailbreaking” needed.

I think this is totally the direction of the future : sure, you can be featured on the “official apps” page, but there’s nothing stopping you from hosting an app on your own web page, and charge or not for it independent of the Android pages . . .

The Nexus One would be a contender, again, were it not locked down to a single network. Any such lockdown is an immediate strike against a device for me, let alone if the network is not going to meet my needs (shout out to the iPhone!)

Anyway, that’s the current plan. The prior 2 years of contract is up tomorrow, and this beauty is on sale for $75 locally . . . no need for rebates, etc. a definite plus.
