iWPhone: WordPress plugin renders for iPhone

I run my personal site using WordPress, and one reason I like using it so much is that (although this is hardly exclusive to WordPress as a content manager) is all the great plugins available for it. On another site I ran under WordPress, I loved using the WP-Print plugin-- it automatically creates a "printable" version of each page on your site. All of the printer compatibility, none of the actual work.

And now, someone's cooked up an iPhone version of that same plugin, where you simply install the WP plugin on your blog (for WordPress 2.2.1), and instantly you can see all your posts formatted specifically for the iPhone. Instead of creating a whole other, "mobile" version of your site, you can simply put in this plugin, and you can get a link that will reformat your content for the iPhone or iPod touch. Very excellent.

If you run a WordPress blog or site and were thinking about creating a version of it for the iPhone or iPod touch, your work is done. Download the iWPhone plugin from Content.Robot, install it, and you're set.

Thanks, Philapple!

Hi there,

I'm Stephane, one of the developers of the WPhone admin plugin.

Just wanted to say: check out the latest 1.2 release. :)

A lot of the bugs we had in the previous versions have now been addressed (spacing, etc), mainly because we've finally been able to preview the app on an actual iPod Touch, which someone lent me for the weekend.

We had been flying blind on the iPhone/iPod front so far, using Marketcircle's iPhoney for preview while not having access to an actual device prior to last Friday night. :)

And to conclude, I also wanted to mention that the webkit/webcore compatible interface 9iUI) is only one of our support modes. The core focus of WPhone is actually full support for the widest array of mobile, lightweight and accessibility devices: "non-smart" phones like my Motorola v551 (pre-RAZR, les RAM, about the same browser), smart phones, PDA and micro-tablets, ,braille readers, screen readers, etc.

So whether you have an iPhone/iPod Touch, or any web-capable device, please try WPhone and help us out with feedback in the forums. :)

Cheers to the TUAW crew.

Or you can just get google to do the work for you.
Go to the URL http://www.google.com/gwt/n and enter your URL of interest. Google will generate a page, with (a permanent URL at the top you can cut and paste and use again) which is formatted for mobile devices and optimized to squirt over the air and format as fast as possible.
It's not 100% perfect, but it works pretty darn well for all the blogs I care about except arstechnica.

@Christopher Finke:

Yes, MobileSafari is (almost) as capable as its desktop counterpart, and the zooming/scrolling is wonderful—you CAN use normal sites that aren't specifically designed for the iPhone (even more-so if they're designed sensibly).

However, that zooming in/out can become irritating, and although it comes close nobody can argue that it's entirely equivalent to a site that copes itself with the constraints of the iPhone's display.

Plus, many of the “designed for iPhone” sites are actually web *applications*, rather than ordinary sites, and so require a great deal more interaction than say, the New York Times website, and the experience is a lot more fluid if the webapp matches the look and feel of the iPod/iPhone itself.

iWPhone turnis your site into what is basically the same thing as the RSS feed version... I'm not sure what it's really accomplishing.

Mobile Admin, on the other hand, is awesome.

There are two WP iPhone Admin plugins currently in development:

Mobile Admin by Jared Bangs and Dan Cameron.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mobileadmin/

WPhone by Stephane Daury, Doug Stewart, and Viper007Bond
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mobileadmin/

Having tried both, I've found Mobile Admin to be more polished and bug-free. WPhone, while closer to how I imagine WP should work on iPhone, is hampered by several rendering bugs and chunky transitions. Both plugins have a ways to go, but either one is an improvement over the un-plugged dashboard.
