Client for T-Mobile G1 / Android OS?

  • We’ve all seen the WordPress app for the iPhone, but how about a build for what is probably the next best thing – the T-Mobile G1? It’s built on the open source Android OS and would be a terrific way to get WordPress exposure as the Android Market grows.

    I got the phone today — it’s probably not an iPhone ‘killer’, but it’s going to get a lot of attention. Would love to have a quick way to work on my blog.

    T-Mobile sold 1M+ of these in presale alone!

  • ya would love a WordPress App for the Android also…

    have you had any problems with your G1 mine crashed within the first 3 minutes of me using it I went to open the camera app to take a picture to see the quality of picture and damn phone froze and had to restart by taking battery out.

    oh and sorry gotta say while yes Android is a good OS and has alot of features the phone is extremely ugly in design ??

    there are now approaching 100 apps for android OS. why does WordPress support iPhone only? this is a revolutionary OS!

    Cannot wait for a wordpress app for Android. I used to have one for my Windows Mobile phone and miss posting while out and about.

    Android rocks on the G1. Coming from Windows Mobile on a T-Mobile Dash, I can’t believe how well this new OS runs. Sweet! We really do need a good WordPress client, though. I tried the wpToGo app, but it keeps crashing and doesn’t offer anything except the bare basics. I am using the browser to get to my dashboard now, but I would love to have something far less data-intensive.

    Please, guys…We know you’d make it rock!

    I would love a full fledged wp Android app that is similar to the iPhone experience. I wrote wpToGo to get by in the meantime ??

    gardenwife, if you don’t mind can you please provide the steps to reproduce the application crashing? Maybe I can help get it working for you. Seems that it works for most but not all ?? Is it a wordpress standalone install? Which version?

    Roundhill,

    I have a g1 and a wordpress blog. Every time I try to post something, the program crashes.

    I have to ask the obvious question: why do you need a specific app for WordPress? The G1 has 3G and wi-fi, a great browser and the WordPress admin works beautifully. No missing features, no crashy app…

    Why fill up more space on your phone with a clunky app when you can do everything you need to do via a browser?

    get a real phone … an iPhone ??

    There is an app for the G1 – it’s called wpToGo

    @mores, typical iPhone fanboy. ??

    nah, just admirer of great devices, whether they’re from Apple or another producer. Just not fond of HTC devices, and the G1 is one. Actually, I am still using a SonyEricsson P1i running Symbian UIQ, which is doomed since it’s not being developed anymore.

    I have an Android, and use PostBot. It works great, supports multiple blogs, and you can attach photos as well. Here’s a link to the developers blog – https://nickthecook.wordpress.com/.
