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! ;)
