I'd like to put in a bid for a slimmed down version of the PF dashboard that might be suitable for using in a mobile environment. While there might be some other ways to do this, I might suggest (since there are a lot of options in the current verstion):
1. Having an area to set defaults to compensate for the most used setting so they don't have to appear in the slim version. (However, give the option to change those defaulted setting in some fashion).
2. Allow for the basic inputting of the title, subtitle, sumary article (and for speed sake....don't allow for uploading of pictures via the mobile...can always be uploaded later)., & article itself.
This would allow for on the go publishing to a limited extent which might be a bit faster on mobile devices than might currently be the case.
