Maintaining a WordPress blog on the go just got easier for those who own a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet.
That's because the official WordPress for PlayBook app was released on Tuesday in the BlackBerry App World. With the app, WordPress bloggers can write posts, upload photos and videos, edit pages, and manage comments. Both WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress (2.9.2 or higher) sites are supported.
"The 7-inch screen on the PlayBook makes an excellent home for the all-new Dashboard [user interface], giving you quick access to everything in your WordPress install," Danilo Ercoli, mobile wrangler at Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com and the new app, wrote in a blog post Tuesday.
Users can access the Dashboard quickly, from anywhere in the app, by simply tapping a button in the top right of the screen. The app also allows users to write posts in landscape or portrait view with a "new and improved post editor," Ercoli added. In addition, those with a WordPress.com blog can access the Read feature, which allows users to follow their favorite blogs.
WordPress for PlayBook is currently available as a free download in the BlackBerry App World. As of Wednesday, the app was receiving 3.5 out of five stars and had been reviewed 15 times.
To download the app, users will first need to update their device with the new BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0, which was also released on Tuesday and includes a number of new features like built-in email, calendar, and contacts. It also allows the device to use Android applications that have been submitted to BlackBerry App World and features better integration of social-networking services like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook.
