WordPress, the definitive open source blogging platform, now has an app available for Android. It allows publishing across multiple blogs, moderating and notification of comments, editing of posts, tags, categories, pictures, and pages via mobile. There’s also a photo and “metadata” uploader built in; I wonder if that includes location data? Rumoured early last month, WordPress for Android joins iPhone and BlackBerry clients, and the wpToGo app will be discontinued. While the core app covers most of your main activity, it’s still only version 1.0 - extra stuff like excerpts and additional language support will likely come later down the line. You can download WordPress for Android right from the Market for free, or check out the WordPress for Android site for a closer look.

Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement.
With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
