app
iPhone app developers hated the tightly controlled Apple approval process. But for users, we should be thankful Apple stood by its rigorous screening from the get-go, so we don’t have to worry about reading headlines like this:
Google pulls 21 apps in Android malware scare
…Once downloaded, the apps root the user’s device using a method like rageagainstthecage, then use an Android executable file (APK) to nab user and device data, such as your mobile provider and user ID. Finally, the app acts as a wide-open backdoor for your device to quietly download more malicious code…
At least 50,000 people already downloaded the apps. If I were an Android user, I’d be petrified.
I just bought the app for my iPhone. It works with both WordPress and Movable Type, so I can use it for my personal and not-so personal blog. I was using the free WordPress app and Movable Type plugin (iMT) before, but iBlogger has basic functions like inline pictures and hyperlinking that the other apps lack. And because the developer is extremely responsive, I suspect the app will be updated and improved over time.
