One more reason to buy an iPhone


Although not possible to buy or use an iPhone in the Netherlands it is getting more interesting, also by using the iPod Touch for this functionality.

From the makers of Movable Type.

For a long time now I have been one of those iPhone hold outs that insists on waiting for the next generation before taking the iPhone plunge. But today could be the tipping point for me and many other Movable Type users like me.

Today we are happy to announce Movable Type for the iPhone and iPod Touch, made possible through a plugin developed by Brad Choate that makes use of the design developed by Walt Dickinson for TypePad. The plugin works by installing an alternate template set
that is automatically used in place of the primary Movable Type user
interface when the application is accessed via an iPhone or iPod Touch.
The integration with Movable Type is totally seamless.

Walt has done an amazing job creating a truly thoughtful user
experience. He certainly had the option to just boil down the
application to a smaller, more browsable version of itself. But he
didn't. Instead Walt designed the ideal user experience for iPhone from
scratch. He created custom graphics, layouts and entirely new screens
for the application in order to make this plugin feel like a completely
native iPhone application.

The plugin, and its design, is completely free and open source. It is available through our plugin directory or from code.sixapart.com.
