App Store for iPhone has been launched as promised in Steve Jobs’ WWDC keynote and we have already seen blogging apps like TypePad blogging tool, courtesy of Six Apart. What about wordpress? When will it get it’s own native iPhone app running on a iPhone? Pretty soon. WordPress has also posted a video demonstrating its very own iPhone blogging tool, which supports WordPress.com blogs and self-hosted WordPress.org blogs which are running version 2.5.1 or later. Below is the video showing the app in action.
You can visit the official home page for WordPress iPhone Application at iphone.wordpress.net. The application will allow you to write a post, edit posts which are published already, change the privacy settings, and select the category for the post. What’s more? It will also let you upload images directly from your iphone camera or library. It’s not that you can’t blog from iPhone currently. All you have to do is point your safari browser to your blog’s admin panel, but it will not give you a good user experience and this application is hopefully going to provide a better ,more seamless experience and greater flexibility. The app will also support multiple blogs. This app is going to be released soon, so keep on checking the iPhone App Store and inform us if you get any more info.
There is surely no doubt that WordPress MU rocks. For Wordpress MU fans, there is a good news. WordPress MU 2.6 beta 1 is now available. The beta has got many new features and some security fixes. WordPress MU now includes post revisioning, gears support for faster loading, theme previews, better SSL support and much much more. Taking the name into question, why is the version named 2.6 rather than just 1.6? Folks at Automattic say that they have named this version as 2.6 rather than 1.6 in order to eliminate confusion between versions. Minor MU versions will probably append a letter to the version.
I know this post has nothing to do with wordpress, but felt like writing this post.
iPhone 3G was announced some days ago which boasts fast 3G wireless technology, support for enterprise features like Microsoft Exchange, and the new App Store called Mobile Me. And there is no doubt that iPhone 3G puts even more features at your fingertips than the old version of the iPhone. Overall, iPhone 3G is a revolutionary phone having a widescreen iPod and is also having a desktop class web browser which is pretty exiting to me. With iPhone 3G you have got something called “real GPS”. The previous version of iPhone had just a “fake GPS”. Many service providers are seen to be joining hands with apple to distribute the product in their operating area.
Since I am from India, there was a roumour over here where lotta people were found telling that it’s the iPhone that’s gonna be launched, not the iPhone 3G. I got a email from Airtel now, saying iPhone 3G is going to be launched in India and you can book yours right now. Wow!. And, there was a small note down the page as well saying ” Some features and services are not available in all areas.” That’s absolutely the 3G things. India has got no place or no much place for that matter as far I know. You can see the iPhone 3G page of airtel here. No word on the rate yet.
Let me know if anyone gets a call from airtel saying “You had booked a iPhone 3G and you can collect it from our office right now.”.
