Have iPhone, will Blog

UPDATE 5-Jan-2009: WordPress has opened up a section of their site dedicated to this application (http://iphone.wordpress.org). The application works on both the iPhone and the iPod Touch. It works with WordPress.com hosted blog as well as self hosted blogs using version 2.5.1 or higher.

There are some very nice, professional applications coming out for the iPhone these days. It seems that most major players are looking to port their application to the iPhone platform.

The folks over at WordPress are no exception, and they have been hard at work getting the latest release of the popular blogging software ready for the iPhone.

If you would like to be a part of the community that is testing WordPress version 1.2 for the iPhone, head on over to the WordPress for iPhone website. From here you can download the latest version, join the community, and provide feedback on the functionality and features you would like next.

Have fun!
