Automattic released their first Wordpress application for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch today, shortly after the 2.6 update to their blogging software. This simple app interfaces with any self-hosted or Wordpress.com-hosted weblog and allows you to edit and post entries on the go.

I’ve downloaded the app to my trusty iPod Touch and will be reviewing it extensively once I’ve had the chance to play with it. From now on, not having a computer around will undoubtedly no longer be an excuse to lag on blogging.
