The rumours over the last couple of days have proven true it would seem, as Automattic has just released a WordPress blogging application for the iPhone and iPod Touch.According to the iTunes store:“Robust but simple to use, the WordPress for iPhone Open Source application allows you to create and edit content on your WordPress blog(s) with support for offline use.”ReadWriteWeb notes (”WordPress Comes To iPhone“):The new WordPress App for iPhone supports both WordPress.com installations as well as self-hosted Wordpress.org blogs that are version 2.5.1 and above.The app includes the following features:- Embedded Safari previews of posts- Full support for tags & categories- Photo support for both camera phone pics and library photos- Support for multiple blogs- Ability to password protect a post, save as draft, or mark for later review- Auto-recovery feature recovers posts interrupted by phone callsThe application can be downloaded from the iTunes store here.The following video overview has also been made available: I’ve only just downloaded the free application and have yet to try it out. Personally speaking I find the tiny keys on my iPod Touch quite tedious to use and would much prefer to use my laptop for mobile blogging than hunt-and-peck on an iPhone/iPod Touch. That said, hopefully Automattic will have thought of that and made the keyboard nice and chunky for fat-fingered people like me.Regardless, this news would seem to offer some significant new abilities in the realm of mobile blogging.
