Sometimes things just work out. When Microsoft announced Windows Phone 7, a complete remake of the Windows Phone platform, we all got very excited. The simplicity of the platform is unheard of, with the target being to “spend less time on your phone – and get to the things you want to do quicker”. A perfect platform for a WordPress app to enable blogging while on the move.
Today I’m very proud to introduce you to the latest addition in the WordPress app family, WordPress for Windows Phone 7:
In this, the first version of WordPress for Windows Phone 7, you will find most of what you’ve come to expect from WordPress apps. It’s easy to write and edit posts and pages on the move, you can upload photos, as well as check stats and moderate comments. It’s all easily accessible from an Actions dashboard. In future versions of the app we’re also hoping to implement video uploading – let us know what else you’d like to see!
To navigate through the app a Panorama view is used, something unique to the Windows Phone 7 platform that works really well for managing a blog or a website. You can get an idea of what it’s like using the app by clicking through the slideshow on the brand new WordPress for Windows Phone 7 website.
We couldn’t be more excited about this, and we’re hoping to take the app even further in the coming months. It’s a partnership between iSoftStone, Microsoft and us that’s made this possible, thank you for all your help and support!
WordPress for Windows Phone 7 is an Open Source app. To learn more and get involved, visit windowsphone.wordpress.org/development.

WordPress for Windows Phone 7 is available now for free in the Windows Mobile Marketplace.

Wow! Finally, thank you WordPress.
That’s a great app!
The first paragraph looks more like a Microsoft ad than a story about WordPress. 🙂
However I’m more interested in the Android.
He he…
But nice info…
Development of applications that really support my work… That’s a great app!
Good luck and thanks.
So I guess all owners of Windows Mobile 6 phones are left without a blogging app?
I’m excited with WordPress for launching the Windows Phone 7 app!!
Just in time why I’m into blogging.
Thank You very much WordPress..
WM6.5 users unhappy… Include me.
But actually I can use other way to mobile blogging, such as via email.
Anyway, welcome WP7 mobile version launch.
Cool.
Sounds great hope its good competion for the iPhone
A great innovation for cell phone users. I like how you guys are always making it easier on bloggers.
This one is indeed really cool^^
That’s great! But I don’t, nor will, have a Windows Mobile phone…
Great work WP. Poor me, all I have is just a Windows Mobile 6.5 phone. Can’t get higher to upgrade to Windows Mobile 7. Maybe someday.
May I ask about WordPress on Windows Mobile 6.5? Everyday I’m blogging on my phone only from email.
Overall, thanks for making this stuff for Windows Mobile 7, hope to catch you there.
A WordPress app for Windows Phone versions below 7 is not something we’re pursuing right now.
Really pleased to see this made available. Thank you.
Good stuff!
It seems good to use WordPress with Windows Phone 7, but I use Samsung i5700, it is Android.
There’s an Android app as well, visit android.wordpress.org for more information.
The ability to upload videos would be great… But in the meantime, this app sounds pretty perfect. Can’t wait to watch the slideshow. Thanks!
Well, it might be a good decision to blog with WordPress 😉
Thanks for always coming up with cool features!
Nice. iPhone, Android, then WP7.
So I guess WP thinks Palm Pre’s aren’t worth the trouble? 😦
Right now it probably isn’t. Hopefully Palm/HP will make something worth the effort soon.
Nice feature!
Thnak you, WordPress!
Terrific! Simply genius. Another job well done WordPress.
I love the Windows Phone 7 interface so much, now I just need to get a WP for Christmas!! (fingers crossed lol)
Sounds great, but unfortunately the iPhone app is still buggy as heck 😦
PC is the best 😀
Good, thanks.
When do want to make a WordPress for Java??
Nice 🙂
Good thing that Windows may finally be actually trying to succeed, again.
True? That’s great news! A good Chritsmas present. Thanks. Still to try it though.
Great app guys, thanks.
I wish you’d fix the buggy iOS wordpress app.
Sounds like a must for bloggers.
If only it wasn’t Windows. 😉
I’m still waiting for the addition of statistics on the iPhone version … On Android and Windows Phone 7 is avaiable.
I hope to update soon the iPhone version, because it is rather low compared with the completeness of the other two versions.
Thanks
I completely agree. Right now we’re focusing on a few issues within the app, but we’re hoping to get to Stats soon.
LİNUX LİNUX LİNUX LİNUX Now Pls 🙂
WordPress For All Linux Phone System Integrations Now Pls 🙂
Coolness!
windows 7 has not impressed me as much as I though it would, however the subsequent versions must improve a lot, given its user base
Cool! 🙂
Great work. Thanks
Good work.
Yes must try this out. I have a Windows Phone-Samsung.
Nice one.
I’ve tried it, This is excellent.
Cheers WP.
Thank you
The link at the end of the post directs us to zune.net, what is that? no introduction to the application for Windows Phone 7?…
Right now it links you directly to the Zune store if you have Zune installed.
Very nice! Thanks
Awesomeeeee! Im going on a trip tomorrow and this app comes just in time! 😀
Awesome, thanks very much guys, this is going to make blogging on the go that much easier!
I would LOVE to be able to save a draft instead if immediately publish. But I am definitely happy to have this application on my new phone. Thanks!
We’re working on resolving this, let us know in the forums if v1.1 didn’t fix this issue for you. Cheers!
It does not appear that I can save drafts yet with 1.1. It would not be a big deal if I could copy and paste from Word on Windows Phone 7. I like reviewing what I write before putting up the little that I do.
Just churning out the goodness! Well done and happy holidays.
I love how everyone is using the Panarama control in their applications. I have been waiting for this app… I dont blog on my phone too much… but there is always that one time that i need to 🙂
Is it working for windows 6.5?
I’m assuming you mean Windows Phone v6.5, in that case no, it won’t work. This app was built specifically for the new Windows Phone 7 platform.
cool! nice app. Happy holidays
He he he, one month ago, I bought this device =)
Works great – thanks for the effort. One suggestion: add a visual indicator that the phone is doing something when you tap an item.
Cool!
Straight away I went to download it, is it Zune software?
Right now you have to download the app via Zune.
I like the info of Windows Phone 7. It’s cool 🙂
Thanks ! 🙂
I Love Windows Phone 7!
We Love Windows Phone 7 !
And
I Love WordPress !
We Love WordPress !
WP app is working on iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, and Symbian. What about WP on “bada”?
