First Blog Post From WordPress For iPhone

July 22nd, 2008

Well the WordPress app showed up in the iTunes store this morning so I figured I would give it a try. It has basic functionality for blogging including posts, photos, categories, and tags.

I’m writing this post from my 3G iPhone and of course it is taking a long time to write since I have to use the mobile phone keyboard.

One other thing to note is that it does not yet currently support custom fields so I won’t be able to update all my blogs at this time since I do use those fields across multiple sites.

I like that it does do local saving in the case where you are in a place where you can’t get online. It also has a preview function which is nice.

For quick posts, I think they did a good job in creating this mobile app and I think it’s good enough to use when on the go and away from the computer.

For those WordPress users with iPhones it is worth trying out since it is a free app you really have nothing to lose.

iPhone 3G First Impression

June 12th, 2008

I didn’t get a chance to go to WWDC so I haven’t had any real life experience with the iPhone 3G.  I would assume that it is just like the iPhone I have now with faster internet access and basic GPS.  As far as the iPhone 2.0 software it’ll run on both models.  I haven’t used that either, but I’m looking forward to getting my hands on the new iPhone running the new software.

I think the app store is a great idea and I like that Apple restricts some access to the system in order to keep stability within the iPhone system.  I had a Palm Treo 650 that let you install whatever you want and the phone because slow and would restart on my face in the middle of a call.  I eventually restored it to default and I still had some issues with it.

As far as the price is concerned, you don’t really save any money.  It’s a pay now or pay later type deal.  Last year you paid up front and this year you pay over the contract life.  I think if you are like me I only really expect to keep the phone a year until the next model comes out next year.  In this case I break even if I get the 3G data and 200 text messages to make it equivalent to the existing model.

Apple iPhone

July 2nd, 2007

On Friday, I decided I would be one of those people standing in line in front of the Apple Store. I didn’t camp out over night, but actually went around 6:30 and was out by 7. The people in line were friendly and seemed pretty excited about the product. I saw a lot of people talking on Blackberrys so it seemed like people were going to replace those. I was one of those people. I had just bought a Blackberry Pearl about a month ago and really this it is a great product. For the short time I used it, it was probably one of the best phones I’ve ever used. The line moved pretty fast and as always the Apple Store employees were very friendly. They brought demo units out in line so people could try the product while they wait. Also one employee was collecting trash from water bottles they had passed out earlier and made a joke saying you could throw your own phone in the bag as well.

My Impressions of the Apple iPhone

February 22nd, 2007

Now that I have had an opportunity to see the iPhone at Macworld and read a few reviews, I thought I would voice my opinion on the Apple iPhone. I haven’t had the opportunity to use it, so I can’t really give an in depth review, but I’ll probably pick one up when they release in June and post an article on lightenment.com. So to tell you right off the bad my first impressions are good, otherwise I wouldn’t be willing to cancel my existing phone contract and pick up one of the new iPhones.
