Take a look at utterli.com and you can combine both worlds!
Works with text, picturs, audio and video…
I use Zannel. You can combine text, pictures and video but it also uploads to Facebook, Twitter and integrates your blog. I agree — blogging when you’re always on the go is hard! I find that this alternative gives my blog an updated alternative when I’m on the road and then I can pick up back to blogging when I’m able to.
