WordPress has just released version 2.4 of its iPhone app, which is really version 1.0 for the iPad. Unfortunately we’re not able to test this out yet but first impressions definitely look positive.
Working with designer/developers Small Society, who have developed apps for the likes of Starbucks and Kyte, WordPress says the new app far easier to use than previous versions.
“Skimming through your comments and moderating them is far faster than before. And using the app is simply more beautiful than before.” says Matt Thomas, WordPress’ art director.
Bloggging on the iPad is one of those things I’m particularly looking forward to trying out, with any luck WordPress’ new iPad app will make this a distinct possibility.
In its post announcing the release, WordPress assures us they’re just getting started.

Is this app for wordpress hosted blogs only, or does it work with WordPress which is hosted on my own server?
it works with your hosted version too
Does it do local backups? I really hate the iphone app because it has lost several posts (no local backup).
I'm yet to decide should I buy iPad or not..though the way iPad apps is increasing
I believe I'm going to buy it..
WordPress iPad app look great….
Hmm, with the WordPress for Ipad app, won't it be annoying for adding media to your blog posts? You'll have to close the app, open safari, grab the media, close safari, open wordpress again. Or is there a way to get around this whole process I'm just not seeing?
Writing a blog post on iPad is not comfortable, and there are lots of limitations like adding media and so on
I have not tried it yet but you will certainly share my opinion once I have experience or if I heard something from somewhere out there. Anyway, thanks for the news!
I’m hopefuly getting an iPad, and hope to get this app to,
I’ve moticed some of the comments saying “You will have to close…” Well, i know it’s a while to wait, but with the iPhone OS 4.0 multi tasking…. I think this is going to be great !
If you need to add media, with the increased screen size of the iPad, would it not just be easier to log in to WordPress via the Safari web browser, open the media source in a new web page, copy, and paste the URL into img src tags in the blog post on the first web page? That way you’d only have one app open, and copy > paste is about as complicated as it would get :)
