WordPress iPhone App Released

Assuming it is stable, this is big.

Not particularly impressed, with the lack of copy/paste and many other vital functions this really doesn't work.

On the other hand I can see your average personal blog using this, the ability to attach a photo is a nice addition.

Haven't tried uploading a photo yet and I've seen others have encountered a few bugs but so far I'm pretty impressed.

I haven't run into any problems with this app yet. So much easier than using the web-based control panel in mobile safari. However, posting long links is a pain without copy/paste.

...with the lack of copy/paste and many other vital functions this really doesn't work.

Great point.
Copy & Pate is really holding back the platform's functionality, in many areas.
Wonder what the hold up is?
I mean, I read Joswiak's weak comments about it being "on their priority list" & blah blah blah.

Seems it would be sitting at #1...

Would it be too cynical to believe that the absence of copy and paste is a ploy for another $10 upgrade that provides it? Shirley it wasn't a technical or programming issue.

Joswiak had a fair point. Apple has more pressing issues, and better features to be working on right now. All in good time.

Sorry to be one of "those guys," but is copy/paste really such a big deal? What exactly is everyone copying and pasting? Sure it's inconvenient to have to type out a long URL, but to say that the lack of copy/paste is somehow crippling the iPhone to the point that this, "really doesn't work" is ridiculous. My wife and I have both posted to our blogs from my iPhone today and neither of us encountered a need to copy/paste anything.

Don't misunderstand, I would very much like copy/paste functionality on my iPhone if it could somehow be implemented elegantly, but let's not overexaggerate the impact of its absence by saying that the iPhone's broken without it. At worst it's a minor inconvenience. Besides, I would guess that most people with a serious need to copy long quotes or multiple URL's to a blog post while away from home will be carrying a laptop.

I have a wordpress blog on a hosted website. I was worried it wouldn't work as well as with a wordpress.com powered blog. So far the app is great. I tried a test post with an image taken by the iPhone and it worked great.

Did anyone else have a blank post show up on their blogs after accessing it via the iPhone? My (few) subscribers loved the email about a blank post. (:
