As expected, WordPress has just announced the availability of their new blog editing app for BlackBerry, much to my personal glee. Page creation, comment moderation and, of course, blog posting are all supported, as well as picture uploading right from the device’s camera. While I would be loathe to share pictures from the Bold’s camera anywhere save Twitpic, I do use a microSD memory card with adapter in my current point-and-shoot, so a little switcheroo would make uploading quality pics to the blog while on the go simple enough. ScreamingToaster is currently working on a beta WordPress editor, but I have a feeling the guys working on the official one will probably be able to throw a bit more weight behind the app. Bold, Curve 8900, Storm and 8700 are all supported in the WordPress for BlackBerry beta – you can get started by hitting up blackberry.wordpress.org/install on your mobile browser.
