At the moment you access the camera functionality through the appli - I
haven't yet seen a way to access the old photo files, but I'm not ruling
it out. Actually with the scratchpad at 200k, you can store quite a lot
of pictures completely within your appli.
I know doja can accesss files that come in as part of the appli resource
package, so there may be some special way to access the data files on
the phone - you can set the appli so it can access phonebook, email
addresses, etc. if the user approves ...

Yeah - I was thinking that several html img src tags could re-assemble
the image - but it would certainly be neater if the separate bits of
base 64 could be put back together into one image ...., I wonder if the
blog API might be adjusted to handle that.
See the thing is I would like the appli to only be relying on the
presence of standard blog API functionality on the server so the
potential user doesn't have to install extra scripts and so forth ....
