There are a couple other sites related to hiptop weblogging.
http://www.bedope.com/mike/hiptop/ is a weblog done from the hiptop by a beta tester. Here's how "Basically I send email to a certain address with a certain keyword in the subject line, which triggers procmail to do certain things to it (sort out text, pics, etc.). Some PHP code then looks at a file created by the procmail recipe and generates the weblog entries."
http://hiptop411.com has a link where you can submit to a community blog from your hiptop, apparently the photo part doesn't work yet. I haven't tried it yet and so far not many others have either.
