...from blip.tv (linked). sample video - posted "direct" from the mobile - above (yet another boring shot out my window).
yet another (perhaps better) version of the "pass through" i was looking for ('course that means yet another service - albeit free - to subscribe to). signing up is pretty painless, as is linking to and setting up "auto cross-posting" to an external blog (e.g. this one). there's no application necessary on your device - all you need is the ability to e-mail from your mobile (and I find the yahoo! go solution, which among other things enables yahoo! mail on your mobile - see my january 6 post - more than adequate in this respect). shoot your video and then send it direct from your mobile to the e-mail address that blip.tv assigns you after you sign up and enable cross-posting via the settings described above. presto. your video (mp4 works, by the way) posts directly (well, kinda) to your blog - similar to the shozu solution described below, but with a still image (the start of your video) rather than a shozu graphic. click "watch the video" and it launches in your browser window ("back" key to return to your post). not bad. not bad at all. (i should note that 1 out of every 2 times I tried to post from the mobile I got alerts from yahoo mail telling me the mail had failed, but who knows what the cause of that might be...).

Maybe a good option would be using ShoZu to upload to Blip.tv. You can assign the Blip.tv upload email address as an "other destination" for ShoZu.
Advantages of ShoZu over wireless email include...
- Much less data transferred per upload (cheaper uploads, less battery drain)
- Resumes uploads automatically from point of failure following any interruption
- Shows upload history in the ShoZu app (so you can see what you have posted, and where you have posted it to)
- Send or post your video multiple times to different destinations, but upload over-the-air only once.
