Bloggers using the WordPress platform can now do their thing on BlackBerry's PlayBook tablet, following the release of a WordPress app for the platform.

A description of the app on BlackBerry's AppWorld said the app allows one to write posts, edit pages and manage comments.

"The all new WordPress for PlayBook™ app allows you to write posts, edit pages, and manage comments on the go," it said.

It said both WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress (2.9.2 or higher) sites are supported.

The app, now at Version: 2.0.5, was released Feb. 21 and is a 923-kb download.

A separate article posted on tech site Mashable said the app came out shortly after the release of the BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0.

"The application features similar capabilities with those you can find in the WordPress for BlackBerry smartphones, but with a much better resolution, to take advantage of the 1024 x 600 screen on the BlackBerry tablet," it said. — TJD, GMA News
