Wordpress have released their native iPhone application, and it is now available in Apple’s App Store. It’s fairly basic right now, and it crashed on me whilst writing this post, but at least it saves a local copy and recovers it. It allows photo uploads from your library, or will take a photo using the built-in camera, and will also show you a themed preview of your post.
This is certainly an application where the much requested cut & paste will come into its own. Writing out whole URLs is not a pleasant task (especially given that the software doesn’t provide a landscape keyboard option), so this is going to make a highly requested feature become virtually essential. I’m also pretty sure there’s a bug that messes up the date of the post (this was originally posted in 1969).
Criticisms aside, it’s certainly preferable to the previous method of emailing a secret account in order to post on the move.
