We Need More Mobile WordPress Applications

There’s now a WordPress application for BlackBerry that allows users to manage and post to their WordPress blogs from their phone. I’ve been waiting on an application like this for years and it looks like I’ll still be waiting.
Although the BlackBerry app is in beta and the developers caution users and testers to be careful in using the application, we need more of these types of devices being built for phones and mobile devices.
I do quite a bit of blogging and there’s plenty of times where I’m sitting somewhere without my computer and have a quick post idea. The ability to pull out my phone and start typing away would be terrific! Especially with the ability to take a quick photo or video with your phone and pop that into a post immediately!
The BlackBerry application currently works with WordPress.com and custom hosted WordPress installations. Just what I’d be using for my blogs and numerous other client sites.
It’s probably not the ideal solution you’re looking for, but Shozu does this well if you setup your Wordpress blog on it.
Also, it is possible to set up your Posterous account to publish to your Wordpress blog. That would actually make it much easier because with Posterous you can blog by sending an e-mail from your phone.
