WordPress BlackBerry app updated. Features abound.

Mobile bloggers and CrackBerry aficionados take note, the WordPress BlackBerry app has been updated to version 0.9.0.175 *correction* 0.9.0.157. Besides a new set of numbers, users can now enjoy:

• Custom field support

• Ability to write and post excerpts

• Support for comment replies

• Gravatar support

• Open comment list for a specific post

• Open URL of author in BB browser

• Added support for French and Italian languages

Overall a welcome update for sure. I know the ability to reply to comments on the go is a big plus in my book. If you’re currently rockin’ an older version of WordPress for BlackBerry, you should be prompted to upgrade. If the upgrade prompt is eluding you or you simply haven’t taken the plunge yet, you can pick up the new beta version at http://blackberry.wordpress.org/install. Enjoy!

BlackBerry WordPress app gets a new set of numbers/improvements

Mobile BlackBerry bloggers take note, if you haven’t upgraded your BlackBerry WordPress app, now is the time to do so. The new update, 0.9.0.140 brings with it several enhancements and new features including:

• Improved response time and UI navigation slugishness

• Removed photo manipulation options in app (already available in camera app)

• Local drafts bug fixes

• Prompt added when clicking back button after composing/editing post

• Category bug fixes

• Fixed issue with private posts not being published correctly

While the aforementioned features are great and all, the best part is that the WordPress team is working with RIM to include BIS-B support. So far the team involved with this app is making steady headway. Hopefully in the final incarnation it turns out to be a very compelling and worthwhile app. For those of you who have already upgraded, how’s it going for you?

WordPress App coming to Blackberry!

WordPress users who have been dying for any form of mobile wordpress will be extremely excited to know that there is one coming. At Blackberry Word Camp in San Francisco, Matt Mullenweg let slip that the words:

New Blackberry app soon

Now I don’t know about you, but I translate that literally word for word as: “We’re working on one…It’s coming soon”. Wouldn’t you? I have the WordPress App for my iPhone and like it for the most part. However, it needs some big improvements concerning actual post creation. Blackberry/Wordpress users, are you excited?!
