With the release of firmware v2.0, playing the iPhone is more enjoyable than ever. Although the popularity of web applications is continously increasing, I just don’t feel like having to open Safari every time I need to do something on my iPhone because the responsiveness of the web applications is limited even under wifi connection.
Now that WordPress has released the iPhone version of its blogging tool, I am trying it out without any hesitation (which is what I am doing right now), just to show my support. The writing tool is very neat, and I can also attach images at the end of this blog post. Unfortunately, due to the lack of copy-n-paste function on the iPhone, I don’t think you can insert hyperlinks in the text (nor did I find the option for doing so) and nor can you insert images from a URL. As the time of writing I just found out that the source of WordPress for iPhone is made available via their SVN server, throwing Apple’s SDK NDA right back in its face. It is interesting to see how Apple would respond.
It might also be worth noting that AT&T’s 3G coverage is still under construction, at least here in Houston. For instance, I don’t have any 3G signal at home and little on campus (as can be seen from the screenshot attached). I have to manually disable 3G network to not waste my battery and to ensure the quality of my phonecalls. So basically I am using an iPhone 2.5G with a white finish (I am no fan of GPS).
Since this post is dedicated to WordPress I am going to save my comments on iPhone 3G for the next one.
