In the short time it has been out Wordpress for BlackBerry has seen some significant changes happen to the beta. Updates have remained and consistent and bug fixes have been put into effect almost instantly. Having updated the application to version 0.9.0.169 Wordpress claims they are almost out of beta now and the application sure is testament to that claim. New in 0.9.0.169:
- Based on all the great feedback, we reworked much of the UI layout for the main view, blog view, and media view
- Ability to upload videos from your media library
- New option to set media file properties (filename, caption, title, and position)
- Created a new file browser that resembles the native BlackBerry file browser
- Big improvements in the speed at which you can view and manage comments
- Lots of optimizations for uploading photos and videos using base64 encoding
- Indonesian language support updated thanks to Kate of Pixel Insert
- Improved French language support thanks to Yann Nave of blog.onbebop.net
The inclusion of video updating alone is a huge jump for Automattic but with all the other improvements I'm sure many people are looking forward to version 1.0's release.

Wordpress Mobile Updated And Quickly Moving Out Of Beta
someone who didn't charge $5 for an app
i wish i could get it to work
I had a bit of trouble with Wordpress Mobile when I went to OS 5.0, but that may have been a .314 problem.
I'm going to try this update, I really love the convenience of posting on the go & this has worked well for me, considering it's still a beta.
Good, I can actually edit posts now.
glad to see this, the app has lots of potential but it has been very limited so far.
I get the error message that says: You cannot Manage Post! I am using a Tour from Verizon. I was able to edit my About Me page, and submit a photo from my BlackBerry's memory card. So, I know I am logged in. When I click on the icon with a pencil, it should allow me to create a new blog post. Pages does not work either. I have the Bug reporter selected. I hope someone gets my error log so the bug can be fixed. I really like how simple the WP interface is. Now, hope they can fix it.
I keep getting the same errors. Start Up Error, Error Loading blogs, etc etc. Was working great when I was using 4.6.0...
Oh well, seems I will wait for another update.
