So I got myself an iPhone, which I’m bothering to mention on here not because I want to show off but because I’m using the wordpress iPhone app to write this post! The third party apps you can download are one of the best things about the phone actually, along with the fantastic touch screen and being able to check my email without having to wait five minutes for my laptop to boot up. Everything else is a bit of a mixed bag though. As a phone it’s very awkward, and far less usable than my old Sony. How come I can’t be reading a text message and then click on the person’s name to call them? And how come only some of the apps let you turn the phone sideways to use the larger keyboard? There’s a real lack of consistency with all the apps really, but maybe apple will start listening to their customers at some point and sort it all out.
The screen is great though, and I think the app I’m getting the most use from is the ebook reader. Now that the wordpress app actually let’s me connect to my blog though I’m hoping it’ll be a handy thing to have on my travels! Right then, let’s see if I can publish with this thing.
