I’m writing this on my iPhone. Just installed the free wordpress iPhone app. This would really be great if there was a Bluetooth keyboard for the iPhone. (I loathe this $@?:&@!!! Touchscreen keyboard for anything more than a few words at a time…)
But the big bummer here is that I don’t see any way to create links in a blog post here. Just text. Hmph.
(UPDATE: I might be wrong about that. Editing here to add a link to my Twitter page. We’ll see if that works…)
(UPDATE 2: AHA! It does work! I can handcode HTML with this app. But it’s ultra-tedious.)
Of course, there’s still the glaring usability problem that there is NO GODDAMN COPY AND PASTE on the iphone! :-/
What am I supposed to do, memorize URLs 4 characters at a time & keep switching between the wordpress app and mobile Safari until I get the whole thing? Probably I’ll just scribble them down in my paper notebook and then type them in. How’s THAT for cross-platform technology integration?
Well, at least the WordPress iphone app works. That’s a good start.
UPDATE 3: TECH BREAKING NEWS!!!
New iPhone copy & paste tool:
You’re able to type a few words at a time on your iPhone? I’m impressed: I can;t seem to string together more than about three correct letters at a time on my iTouch.
And your cut-and-paste had me rolling on the floor.

Yeah, ohhh for a bluetooth keyboard. I don’t mind the on-screen keyboard for an email or so bravo for persevering long enough to fill a blog post!
