Last week, Six Apart—a leading blogging software and services company— announced plans to develop a native TypePad mobile application for the iPhone with the recently released Software Developer’s Kit (SDK). As you may know, TypePad and Movable Type users already benefit from an optimized iPhone blogging interface through their device’s web browser; however, a native TypePad iPhone app. promises to make usage even friendlier.

Stephane Delbeque, mobile product manager of Six Apart, asserts: “Our users are already embracing mobile blogging and the advanced capabilities of smartphones. Providing a mobile option for our customers has always been a priority and we will continue to develop applications as the mobile market and our customers’ needs grow.”
