Potential iPhone Blogging Apps for 2009
With more than 2008 and almost all celebrate (or fear) of the upcoming new year, it seems that many people have an opinion about what 2009 will bring that about our world (Note: Thank you, Twitter).
Although you can not forecast what the future will bring, especially on mobile devices like the iPhone, here are my “modest” predictions for the iPhone Apps blogging is dominated by the end of next year.
WordPress
Although there is a plethora of iPhone applications that are posting to WordPress, I think 2009 will be the end of most of them on the official WordPress iPhone App (assuming that you updated to version 2.7).
WordPress is planning on a variety of new features, the ability to easily create hyperlinks, edit, type in landscape mode as well as contributions COMMET moderation (a spammer one thousand weep tears).
Once the new version of WordPress for iPhone live, I predict, many developers try carving niche other’s blog (especially since the official WordPress app is free).
Blogger / Blogspot
Although Google has yet another web application for their Blogspot trailer (Note: I have serious doubts whether they ever will), I have the feeling that blog Press CoolLittle of things will carve the Blogger niche for itself all (before particularly after its last update).
So far, Blog Press is currently unbeatable, because it allows Blogspot fans everywhere, not just after (and adaptation) of multiple images with text on several blogs, but also brands as well.
CoolLittle things is planning on the addition of landscape to Blog Press, and unless another application comes with a bit more innovative (such as comment moderation tip, hint) at a lower price, which I blog Press attracts the masses bloggers.
LiveJournal
Receiving praise from corporate Livejournal blog itself, which LiveJournal.app (from Igrick) is likely to remain unchallenged as the application sports a variety of functions (of the famous Bar HTML publishing more pictures and captions on points).
But what LiveJournal.app alongside its competitors is that it allows users to create expandable post summaries from their iPhones, a function I have to see duplicated on each iPhone App in the App Store (note: Feel freely to me if I’m wrong).
LiveJournal.app is currently free in the App Store, and with the impending global recession hits our small planet, I see no serious rivals dethroning about this within the realm LiveJouranl.
MovableType / Typepad
Forecasts that dominate this space in 2009 is really difficult, despite the fact that Six Apart already has a free iPhone app for Typepad (which is pretty good in my honest opinion).
What MovableType goes, I believe that iBlogger of illumineX is likely to dominate this niche due to the fact that they use a variety of functions, including the ability to post, where you are blogging from (based on Geo-Blogger everywhere).
Unless, of course, Six Apart tweaks its TypePad around Movable Type fans, iBlogger may be in the perfect position to dominate this niche of fans are feeling about the coding of Wizards of Six Apart
All of the above?
While there are many iPhone Apps that are able to access a half-dozen blogging platforms (or more), CellSpin is probably one of the few that at the end, most iPhone screen because of its ability, your voice on your blog.
CellSpin is currently the undisputed leader in the field of audio-blogging, where the App Store goes, and they may even be positioning itself to video bloggers (assuming that Steve Jobs approves use of video applications in the App Store).
What about the iPhone App for ________?
While the i-Wars on the big three (plus Livejournal) can not see any new challengers (because of the economy), I expect that the competition for the other blogging platforms (such as Windows Live Spaces, Drupal, etc. ) Heat over the coming year.
As for the other related blog iPhone Apps go (such as RSS feed reader, Twitter, image Apps, Twitter, social networks, Twitter, and micro blogging Apps, who are still the same as Twitter), the field at least for now appears to be too far open.
