Wordpress on iPhone and iPod Touch

iwphone_on_ipodtouch.jpgHave you ever tried reading blogs on your mobile device? If yes then you would certainly be aware of the fact that blogs do not look the same on mobile browsers as they do on the PC because of the small screen size and low end settings.

Though the iPhone and iPod Touch offer a fully functional Safari Browser to surf the web but as I have experienced it myself on my iPod Touch I would say that reading Wordpress blogs on your Apple device is not a good idea. Therefore to make Wordpress blogs compatible for iPhone and iPod Touch the best option is to use iWPhone.

iWPhone is a Wordpress Plugin specially designed to make your blog iPhone and iPod TOuch compatible. It automatically reformats your blog’s content for optimized viewing on iPhone and iPod Touch. It detects the iPhone/iPod touch’s User Agent and serves up the content with the special theme only to iPhone and iPod touch visitors, all other browsers will view your WordPress blog with your current theme.

The plugin will soon support a new feature that will allow bloggers to write blog posts through iPhone and iPod Touch however currently this function is not supported.

Here are some of the key features of this plugin:

  • Formats your blog content for optimized viewing on the iPhone and iPod touch.
  • Automatically detects the iPhone/iPod touch’s Safari browser and only displays the custom theme to iPhone and iPod touch visitors, other visitors get your standard theme.
  • Simple iPhone/iPod-like theme with common interface elements that compliments the iPhone/iPod touch’s internal applications.
  • Images larger then 300 pixels wide are automatically scaled down to fit the iPhone/iPod touch optimized width.

It is highly recommended that if you own an iPhone or iPhone Touch and you are also a blogging addict (Like me) then you must install this plugin on your blog immediately.

Very cool. But, I don’t have an iPhone and don’t really want to get one until they open the thing up some more.
