WordPress iPhone App Now Officially Available

Attention iPhone owners!   Would you like to blog directly from your iPhone?  Or at least be able to access your WordPress powered blogs from anywhere?

There has been some talk of an WordPress iPhone application for awhile now, but today it is finally official!   Version 1.0 is now available.  Here is what you’ll get with this new iPhone application:

  • Support for WP.com blogs and self-installed blogs version 2.5.1 and higher
  • Embedded Safari for true previews of posts
  • Full tag and category support
  • Photo support for both camera pictures as well as library photos
  • Support for multiple blogs
  • Ability to password protect a post, save as a draft, or mark the post for later review
  • Auto-recovery. This will recover posts which have been interrupted by phone calls

In order to use this new application, you’ll need to have installed the new iPhone 2.0 software (this includes iPod Touch users as well).  For other questions, consult their Frequently Asked Questions page.

I am currently very anti-AT&T and so I haven’t caved and bought an iPhone yet.  I do have an iPod Touch, but I’m always near a computer when using it, so right now I probably won’t use this application until I get an iPhone someday.   For you iPhone users, do you think you will you be using this application?

      I’ll definitely be using this. All those times when you’re out and about and have that idea for a quick blog post, but then you get home and forget or just don’t do it.  Now I can snap a picture with the phone and just post something quick and easy. 

      I wonder when we’re gonna get special iphone plugins?

      It’s a great little app!  It’s a bit buggy (can’t add one of my blogs, nor my large WPmu site), but it’s pretty slick.  I’ve posted once from it, mostly just as a test, but it worked as advertised.  I created a new post, snapped a pic of my daughter, added some text, and published.  Very smooth.

      The app is great, I just wish they would add the ability to moderate comments, that would make it incredibly useful to me.

      You must all be very rich - In Germany we can’t afford the iPhone. So thanks, but no iPhone WP stuff for me.
