For this post, I would love to share a great news – WordPress for Iphone 2 has just been launched!

As most of us know, the app has been developed to keep up with the latest ipod touch and iphone firmware which has better functions and capabilities. With this new version of this WordPress app, it will bring better experience for WordPress bloggers either your are a WordPress.com or self hosted WordPress user blogger.

The major aspects that have been taken into account in the development of this version is to keep at minimal level of the bugs in the app and incompatibility issues with some self-hosted WordPress bloggers.

So, the features and fixes that you will find in the version 2 of the WordPress app are:

• Various user interface refinements and bug fixes
• New Comments interface, with Gravatars and the author URL shown in the comment list
• Passwords are now stored in the keychain
• Posts are now automatically saved and restored if network connection is lost during publishing
• Added persistence, so the app re-opens in the blog you last used
• Added an interface for manually entering the XMLRPC endpoint for non-standard setups
• Fixed rotation-related visual glitches
• Fixed errors where malformed XML prevented access to XMLRPC endpoint
