WordPress application for iPhone launches

Posted by Greg Kumparak

As someone who blogs for a living, I am beyond pumped about this application. Being able to blog on the go is a must. A huge chunk of the time, news breaks at the most inopportune moment. News never breaks while you’re sitting around idly at the computer. It breaks while you’re on the train, or at the grocery store. By the time you’re online, you’re the 53rd blog to cover it, and no one really cares anymore.

While there are solutions out there that aim to make things a bit smoother, you’re still running in Safari - meaning you’re still facing with the limitations you’d face with any WebApp.

Fortunately, WordPress went native on the iPhone (iTunes Link) sometime this morning. It’s got support for images, multiple blog administration, tagging, and Safari-based previews amongst the crucial bits. User reviews seem to be positive thus far, the only notes being that it lacks a landscape keyboard and that it’s being a bit crashy on the iPod Touch.

Check it out, and let everyone know what you think - it’s free!

  2. I really like the app, but it’s a bit limited for posting links. But I guess that’s most likely also due to iPhone limitations (no drag-selection / copy&paste).
