WordPress for the iPhone debuted yesterday morning and it looks to be very convenient for writing and publishing quick posts on the go. Beyond casual blogging, iPhone Atlas suggests that the app offers far more to the discerning user who wants to use it as a very powerful publishing tool.

With WordPress for the iPhone, you can upload photos either from your existing library or snap quick shots with your phone’s camera. The app also enables you to save whatever you write on your phone, so you can work on dozens of posts at once, publishing at your discretion.

Unfortunately, the iPhone’s lack of copy/paste functionality prevents users from adding links to posts. iPhone Atlas also notes that drafts created on your computer won’t show up in your post queue on the iPhone app, meaning you won’t be able to start a post on your computer and finish it on the road. Ideally, future revisions will include better shortcuts for adding links and some support for fetching drafts from the cloud.

Ultimately, the app offers as many features as its competitor, TypePad, opening up mobile blogging to the millions of WordPress.com and WordPress.org users.
