Matt Mullenweg, the founding developer of WordPress, has confirmed that a WordPress application for the BlackBerry will be released soon. This application will prove to be a boon for those BlackBerry owners who want to post something quickly but have no immediate access to a laptop. There aren’t any more details available as to the exact functions but it probably will be similar to the iPhone app.
Currently there exists an add-on that provides a mobile-friendly web interface, but it has many shortcomings. The application from BlackBerry will permit liveblogging and quick edits and coupled with the fact that the BlackBerry keyboard is ideal for writing; it seems possible that even full drafts can be written while on the go.
There is no information about the features which will be included in the WordPress BlackBerry application or when the application will be released.The iPhone WordPress application has apparently received considerable amount of popularity, thus the chances of success on the BlackBerry increases. Since the release date hasn’t been disclosed as yet, its only a wait that could let us know where this application stands in terms of popularity and success.
