Well people have been attempting to broaden the concept of mobile blogging for a while now… Several mobile phone manufacturers have included blog support for their devices, for example the “moblog” that comes with the Nokia S60 phones… Personally I think the only reason that it has not caught on is that it has not had enough exposure, this WordPress plugin is taking the world just one step closer to this mobile move that everyone is making…Just look at the number of web apps that are now available for our cell phones, it’s a brand new territory waiting to to explored and it’s great to see people like the guys at “Unique” at the forefront…

@Josh: Thanks for the comment. I think it has some awesome potential for third world countries…where a vast amount of people use their mobiles for internet access.

But I do hear what you’re saying, in terms of reading blogs, it might still be a while before we see significant traffic through the mobile channel!

Interesting idea, although I’m not really sure how many people will be checking blogs from their phone.

Hey Matt, Thanks for the input and clarification. I’m definitely going to give the plugin a go as soon as a have some time.

I especially like the idea that you can have different templates depending on the phone/browser. Very cool

Hey John,

The plugin already supports the iPhone. What is does is renders your WordPress blog as a mobile website/blog when you view it on a cell phone. You can also set specific templates for specific phones/browsers such as the iphone.
