WordPress has finally joined the long list of companies finally sitting up and taking notice of android, by pushing out its initial release of its android app.
Over on android.wordpress.org, they have set up an android friendly blog which lists the current features of version 1.0.

Features include the ability to:

• Configure and manage multiple blogs
• Comment moderation including the ability to reply to comments
• Create and Edit Posts including categories, tags and photos
• Create and Edit Pages
• Get notified of new comments in the Android notification bar

Not seeking to reinvent the wheel, WordPress have used the developer of  GNU Public licensed WpToGo code.  Wp2Go will be discontinued in favour of the brand new WordPress App.  It seems that there is also a new momentum behind the app, and WordPress are seeking community help in the form of Beta testers for the new version. ( click here to sign up to the beta test!)

WordPress is another great app to add to the list of Killer apps for Android and I can’t wait to see what further developments time will bring. 

Edit: I cheated and added this from the computer afterwards – purely because of how cool this video is.
