WordPress for Android
This is a sample post from mobile.
Ease of use
The app is easy to use. But certainly not for long posts. Appropriate to do some quick post when on the move. The Samsung Galaxy S2 input methods does make it easier. Swype rocks.
Formatting
Not much of formatting is allowed. Simple stuff like bold, italics, underline, strikeoff, hyperlinks and block quotes are available. Again its not possible to select and format words while in landscape mode. Thats a catch.
Media
You can add images and videos but there’s no way to arrange them in the post. In fact I still don’t know how they will appear. Will post and check.
Metadata
The usual tags and categories are available. You’ll need a working network connection to fetch the previously used categories.
Publishing
The blog can either be published immediately or can be saved as a local draft or even sent for review. Just like in the web version you can also set a specific date for publication.
I think I should stop now. Got to get off the train.

It looks neat. The image got posted on the top of the post. The video couldn’t be uploaded because it was of unknown format. There should have been a mention of supprted formats. After failing to upload, it showed a message box telling me about Videopress, their plugin to convert video format for which I need to upgrade. Yikes.
