Dear Google & Palm, your Treo 700 for Windows doesn't work on Blogger



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Dear Google and Palm,

Through the wonders of the Treo 650, Joe in DC is able to blog on the road, which is a great help when I'm off knoodling with Katherine Harris and Jeff Gannon.

But then Joe went and bought the new Treo 700 for Windows, and guess what? It doesn't work when you pull up Blogger.com. We can't log in to Blogger, and the folks at Palm tell us that they had the same problem using Blogger with the 700, and it must be a problem with the Blogger page being incompatible with the Treo 700 for Windows.

Now, Joe in DC isn't the only blogger to use a Treo. I know for a fact that lots of them do, and I also know that I was going to get the new Treo 700 to blog on the road, until I found out that it doesn't work with Blogger.

Now, here's the deal. Joe has talked to the Palm folks on the phone. They say the problem is Blogger. I've emailed the folks at Google (who own blogger) and haven't gotten any response at all.

Someone needs to fix this little problem or a lot of bloggers are going to be mighty surprised when they buy the Treo 700 for Windows and realize they can't blog anymore. That mean's they're going to return the Treo 700, and that isn't good news for Treo. Or, they're going to keep the Treo 700 and move their blogs off of Blogger - and that isn't good for Blogger.

So, Treo/Palm and Blogger, can you two please get together and fix this?

Love, John and Joe
