The iPhone is, as we all know already, Apple's smartphone, while Wordpress is usually about the notorious blogging service, or the publishing platform bearing the same name. If you ask me, I wouldn't ever write and publish blog posts on a mobile, especially because I find it much easier to use a decent keyboard, but I know a lot of people who don't have this problem, and today I have some good news for them - if they're looking for WordPress iPhone apps, they should stop doing that. Why? Obviously, because a blogging software for the iPhone coming right from WordPress is expected to drop by pretty soon.

If you're crazy about statistics, then let me tell you this is not the first blogging tool for the iPhone, since Six Apart's TypePad already has its tool, called Typepad Mobile, described by its creators as "a mobile application that lets you update your TypePad blog or photo albums from your Palm OS®, Windows Mobile 5, or Symbian Series 60 smartphone." OK, so we have that one checked, but let's get back to the WordPress iPhone apps now, shall we?

Now, I was just about to tell you something about that "upcoming WordPress for iPhone application," but it all got better! According to the official page, modified only a few minutes ago, "WordPress for iPhone just launched on the App Store!" If you are wondering about the compatibility and features, here's what you get - the ability to write posts, upload photos, and edit your WordPress blog using your iPhone or iPod Touch, while having support for both WordPress.com or self-hosted WordPress 2.5.1 or higher blogs!

For now, this is all the information I can give you, together with the download link. These being said, all I can wish is "happy blogging" and may your WordPress blog be overwhelmed by an endless stream of visitors! ;)

In this world, there are plenty of thing to get addicted to, and probably that gadgets creating armies of devoted followers easily exceed all known drugs, but what do you know about Kava? Is Kava addicting, or not? No, I am not talking about the plant also known as Piper methysticum, simply because that doesn't have anything to do with Apple, and not even about the Kava Kava rock band. Ever heard of Kava Tunes? If not, I got a very pleasant surprise for you...

KavaSoft is - obviously - a software company, and its flagship product is simply called KavaTunes. So...what about it? Well, KavaSoft just released KavaTunes 3.2, the latest version of a product that easily turns your iTunes into a web jukebox for you and your friends. Here's what KavaSoft has to say about it: "KavaTunes creates interactive websites that look and work just like iTunes. Browse, search and play all your music. KavaTunes websites can stream your favorite playlists using your computer’s built-in web server. KavaTunes can also add artwork to your music."

Doesn't sound bad at all, don't you think? You simply setup a webpage, go away, and you can access your iTunes library from anywhere, and there are plenty of options available, like sorting based on most played artists, recently added items, and top rated ones. If the visitors of your page like your tunes, they can click a link to buy it from the iTunes Store(no affiliation program? what a pity...), it's just as easy as that!

Basically, when talking about the new parts of KavaTunes' version 3.2, we have the redesigned music preference pane, giving you the option to allow what your visitors can download from your site, and especially if they can do this, or not, as well as setting the default playback volume. With a price of L35, KavaTunes could be a interesting choice for some people, although I'd rather take my music collection with me on a portable drive, or simply load it to a high storage capacity PMP... so deciding about the answer to the "Is Kava Addicting?" question is your part.

I know this may begin to sound a bit boring in a few days, but..."did you get the iPhone 3G yet?" is the question of the day, and will continue to remain a hot topic for a while. The reason should be obvious, especially for those that tried once, twice, even three times or more, but every time ended up facing a "sold out" sign, or being told there's no iPhone 3G remaining in the store. If you remember well, one of the iPhone 3G problems noticed last week was this supply problem, but today I got some interesting details, even shocking to me, and probably to some of you, too. Let's see what is this all about now, shall we?

According to the latest reports, only 11 days after the release of the iPhone 3G, there are less locations having the device available for sale, than those displaying the "sold out" sign. If you want to talk about the iPhone 3G availability in US, it's enough to say the smartphone is all bout sold out in 38 states! For example, there's only one Apple Store having any iPhones available - the Pleasanton store, with only the 16GB black model, and the notorious Fifth Avenue Store in New York City is the only one in the entire New York state, but only 16GB white iPhones can be found here!

In the entire US, only a single Honolulu store and the Salem, New Hampshire store claim to have any iPhone 3G model available, but they only list one model to be ready for today.

While Apple keeps delivering iPhone 3G phones on a daily basis to its stores, it seems the demand is simply crushing any previous estimation, so this makes me ask if it is possible for Apple's greatest enemy of the moment to be its own success. I know it may sound strange, but this is the truth. After all, after trying to get the 3G-wonder from the Cupertino-based company a few times, possible buyers could go and get a Samsung Instinct, or another interesting competitor, one that's not necessarily better, but much easier to find...

I don't know if you managed to get your iPhone 3G yet or no, but here's the undeniable fact: Apple's latest smartphone has been jailbroken already! How's that possible? Well, did you ever had a single thought about the fact that the iPhone Dev Team may be in the Bahamas, having fun in the sun, and leaving for the others the glory? Obviously not, so if you got an iPhone 3G already and you want to unlock it, the tools to do it are only a few clicks away!

First of all, let me remind you that jailbreaking your iPhone 3G, just as it was the case with the old iPhone, will probably void your warranty, so be aware of this - if you think the benefits you will get are worth this price, go ahead! Here's what you should do...

Get the Pwnage Tool 2.0, and then be careful to follow the instructions there and ask around to know all there is to know before taking this step. While this tool only supports firmware 2.0, there's one drawback that may force a lot of people to wait - Pwnage Tool 2.0 is able to jailbreak and unlock older iPhones, but it only jailbreaks the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch, so if you got the iPhone 3G with a service plan (obviously you did), you won't be able to drop it just yet...

Well, I guess this is it, so if you're one of those enjoying to walk on the edge, go ahead and hack your iPhone 3G, but if you ask my opinion, I advise you to wait for at least a few days and see what happens with the brave ones going in first!

As I heard almost every day of this week that ends today, it seems the iPhone 3G is still far from being available in numbers large enough to cover the demand. For now, Apple is going to open its first Chinese store, the App Store is doing pretty well, and while plenty of accessories for the iPhone 3G are already available, there are not enough phones... but, after only a week of existence, first issues with the existing iPhone 3G devices started to pop up, as we're going to see right away.

For a long time, people accused Apple for not doing the right thing by keeping the privilege to develop iPhone and iPod Touch applications only to themselves. Now, it seems they were right, although this may change in the future, and I am almost sure it will. The most frequent problem reported by iPhone 3G users is the tendency of third-party applications to crash, sometimes even on launch, while Apple's own programs work like a charm.

Leaving the third-party applications aside, it seems a large number of iPhone 3G owners are facing interface lag, but resetting only temporarily fixes the problem, and this issue also seems to be present in old iPhones.

While this is not something new, and was noticed by one of the first iPhone 3G reviews, a lot of users are experiencing echoing audio on their side when pairing up the iPhone with a Bluetooth audio system, especially in cars.

According to some additional reports, GPS mapping doesn't work as expected, in some cases, but this doesn't seem to be a widespread problem. Anyway, it's funny to mention that a British iPhone 3G owners found himself located off the coast of Canada...at least, according to his iPhone 3G GPS, of course!

At last, there were also a few reports saying that the ringer volume is resetting without any user interaction, and individual preferences are turned back to default. Obviously, there are rumors regarding the fact that Apple is already working on the iPhone 2.0.1 firmware update, to address some of the problems described above, but nothing is official yet.
