So here it is Monday morning, I leave saturday to head to Denver, and I still don’t have a very clear idea as to what I’m bringing with me. Well I have the hardware figured out, but I’m still not totally settled on the software side of things.

Maybe you can help me figure out what to use on this wacky adventure of mine. So let’s break this down by hardware shall we?

First up I’ll be bringing the iPhone. Incidentally I’m typing this post on my phone, so by the end of it we can safely say that I’ve tested wordpress’s mobile capability. For communication, I’ve got palringo so I can connect to all my IM services like aim and google talk and such. I’ve got twinkle for updating my Twitter although I’ve noticed a lot of people prefer twitterific. Am I making the right choice on that? For photos i’m using standard email to post to Flickr. Pretty sure this doesn’t geotag or mark them by location though which is something I’d like to be able to do. Is there a better app to post to Flickr from the iPhone than just standard email?

On the laptop, I’m of course already settled with my communication apps like digsby and twhirl. What I’m really concerned with is video. Since my video camera only records to tape (ugh I know) any video I shoot on it won’t be available until I get back from BOTH conventions. I’ll be relying on the built in webcam on my vaio as well as a logitech USB webcam which I’m still not sure I’m bringing. My question to you is what video streaming software should I use? I already have a blogtv account and one with operator11. Not sure I like either of them though. I like what I’ve seen so far from oovoo, is it worth checking out? I don’t have a Qik account but I sure wouldn’t turn down an invite ;)

So what do you think? What should I use to geotag my Flickr photos from the iPhone? What software should I use to stream live video? Drop me a line and let me know.

UPDATE: Wordpress on the iphone worked great, although I did have to log in from the dashboard to add in the special tags for the front page icons. Oh well, small price to pay for blogging on the go, I guess!
