Text any question to 466453, ex: define: xxxxxxx, movies by area code, capitol of KS, conversions

Send from google maps - sends a mobile map and/or text msg to phone

google's blogger tool - post to your blogger account from your phone! Via SMS or email

Upload phone pics to Flickr

Slide shows with pictobrowser.com - add a slide show to your blog (make sure you tag the photos)

Gabcast.com and Gcast.com are pay sites for podcasting from a cell phone

Drop.io call and add a voice message - saves as mp3 - podcasting made completely simple - also just a very simple "drop space" for all types of files.

Geograffiti.com - knows where you are on your phone and leaves voice notes on a map

Polleverywhere.com - everyone's cell phone is a response system

Really cool session!
