So part of our job here in Labs it to evaluate new tech, and while looking at some HTML5 editors we ran across Bespin, which is really pretty darn cool!   We quickly realized that you could then use this tool to edit your own hosted Tropo files, simply by adding the Mozilla bookmarklet to your browser!  It’s really a super simple to setup, all you need to do is drag this bookmarklet ( Bespin ) to your browser ( Only Chrome / Safari / Firefox need apply, sorry IE :P).

After doing so you can simply click Bookmarket, while on any page with a textfield, such as the application editor in your hosted account.  It may take a few seconds to redor, but you will get an icon, which once clicked will then turn this:

Into something like this... Aww, isn’t it pretty, look at the cute syntax highlighting :)

We are working to implement some HTML5 ‘Goodness’ into our new Application Manager, which is coming soon to a browser new you, so stay tuned. In case you want to see the whole process, start to finish, via a screencast, I have one below for your viewing pleasure!

Enjoy!
