“And here’s what you need to know if you want to take the app for a spin:
The app is for WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress version 2.5.1 or newer
- This app should work with any of the new BlackBerry devices such as the 8700, Pearl, Curve, Bold, and Storm
- BlackBerry OS requirements are OS 4.2.1 or newer
- For self-hosted WordPress sites, please make sure you have XML-RPC enabled. To confirm, it’s a simple check box in your dashboard under Settings -> Writing
A few words of caution before you proceed: While we’ve tested this a bunch, this is a beta and there are a ton of hardware/OS combinations out there, so please test with a private blog or a backup blog before using on your high-traffic main blog — or wait for the 1.0 version before using this.
To install the beta application: Point your BlackBerry browser to http://blackberry.wordpress.org/install and follow the instructions. Most BlackBerrys will install apps, including this one, in the “Downloads” folder.
We will be pushing updates out on a fairly frequent basis, and the app should prompt you to download a new version. When you install the update, it will ask you to overwrite the current app. Doing so will just overwrite the app, but your settings and local drafts should be preserved.
If you find bugs: Review the How To Report a Bug documentation and submit tickets over on blackberry.trac.wordpress.org.
For developers out there wanting to get involved, you can browse the source code and check out a copy of the app via SVN: http://blackberry.svn.wordpress.org/.”
