WordPress Mobile App for Nokia Phones

in Tech

This is something I have been waiting for. WordPress is working on a mobile app for Nokia mobile phone users. Although there are a handful of applications out there (such as WordMobi etc.) that let you control your WordPress blogs on your mobile phone but none of them are that cool. The folks at WordPress are working on an official app for Nokia mobile phone owners. There are already apps for iPhone, BlackBerry and Android. The WordPress app for Nokia phones is currently under alpha stages of development. A beta version is supposed to come out in a couple of weeks.

I have myself tried the early Alpha build (screenshots below) and it looks pretty solid even at such an early stage of development. Can’t wait for the beta release. The WordPress for Nokia app is based on Qt framework so it will work on both S60 and Maemo platforms! Developers who’re interested can check out the dev blog for updates, source code and the alpha build.

For those who’d like to give WordPress app for Nokia a try, you can do so by following the installation steps below.
