Weekend Fun: Call for Stories and Pictures

While being quite new, WPhone has already been used to blog about or from some pretty unusual places: keeping in touch from the middle of the Moroccan desert, covering an international Santa convention, etc.
We’d like to hear from you! If you would like to share an unusual story or picture of how you moblog with [...]

iPhone Screenshot Goodness

Thanks to Matt, I can now take iPhone screenshots to my heart’s content. So I’ve updated the set showcased on this site and made a zip archive of 18 screenshots available on the same page.

All the screens in the packaged set are from version 1.4.2. Some will be bundled with the next [...]

Become A Facebook Fan Of WPhone

Following Matt Mullenweg’s lead, I went ahead and established a fan page for WPhone over on Facebook. If you’re an FB user, why not head over there and add yourself as a fan of WPhone? We’ll update fans of upcoming releases, news, etc. using the page — Stephane and myself are currently admins of [...]

WPhone Version 1.4.2 “Thanks[giving] A Million!”/”Sprechen Sie Englisch?” Edition Released

Stephane tagged up trunk tonight and labeled it as version 1.4.2. This version brings the extra-spicy internationalization sauce, including:

Translators/Translations Wanted

We’ve been attracting a lot of international attention with WPhone, including some gracious translation efforts (Google translation) to translate the plugin’s strings into Russian by the Lecactus folks. (It also appears as if these folks have given a go at making WPhone work in Japanese/UTF8. Google’s attempt at translating the page is available [...]

Taming the Robot: WPhone on Android

So, I was getting all geared up to start taking on the challenge of fully supporting the rich interface on the Android platform, the same way we do on the iPhone/iPod Touch. Android sporting a WebKit browser by default and calling for a minimum of a 200MHz ARM 9 processor, there really should be no [...]

WPhone Version 1.4.1: “Winner” Edition

Stephane up’n tagged, bagged and released version 1.4.1 of WPhone last night. Those of you with WordPress 2.3 installed ought to get notified by the plugin updater that it’s in the wild, but for the rest of you, version 1.4.1 contains the following goodness:

Added Russian and French translations (props to http://lecactus.ru/ for the RU [...]

And The Winner Is…

We’re totally stoked, to steal a Cali surfer phrase.

WPhone Version 1.4.0 Has Hit The Streets

Viper and Stephane have been hard at work making some behind-the-scenes improvements to WPhone, so much so that it calls for a full .1 version bump (and not simply a +.x.1 bugfix bump). We’ve done some code clean-ups as well as some performance tweaks that should make sites running WPhone just a bit faster [...]

Some might ask themselves why we decided to rewrite and develop a separate WordPress Admin in close parallel to what is being done in the WP core, instead of simply re-skinning the standard output to seemingly achieve the same goal.
Although the above statement is in itself not entirely accurate given our thorough adherence to the [...]
