Very cool…WordPress is planning on releasing their own iPhone app to blog on WordPress.com or self-hosted WordPress blogs. They’ve released a few screenshots and a video, but no release date as far as I can tell, but I expect it will likely be soon since their revealing it to the world now…
UPDATE: weird, the video link isn’t working…need to hit up wordpress.com support on that one…
UPDATE 2: Removed video due to the following answer from WordPress support:
And you also need to have purchased one of the Space upgrades on your blog to use our video player.
Not a solid idea at all. This wasn’t a video of mine, this was something posted by WordPress that I wanted to show off to those who read this blog. I can understand requiring that I pay for uploading videos, but to just use the player seems … questionable. Admittedly, I didn’t reply to support to dig further and they have always been nothing but nice, however, I doubt this is worth any more of my time as I can link to YouTube and Google so I can’t see myself using the WordPress video player. Also, I can always put “real” videos up on my MobileMe (had to edit that as I’m still calling it .Mac
) site:Â http://gallery.me.com/billvinson.
Oh well…
UPDATE 3: Posted using my new blog with actual full WordPress…
