Wordpress appears to be on the wave of websites jumping on the iPhone bandwagon

And the bandwagon may not be a too bad place to be as the fallacy usually points out saying there is NO reason except the trend being popular.  Well, this popular trend may be lots of new or heavy traffic for Wordpress.

Wordpress CEO Matt Mullenweg or like what he likes to call himself CBBQTT (which stands for “Chief BBQ Taste Tester” for the company that produces Wordpress – Automattic.com) wrote recently:

iPhone Updates: Prologue and Mdot

If you’re an iPhone user — and I expect there will be a few more of you on July 11th — these latest updates are for you.

First we’ve updated our mobile interface, which you can reach at m.wordpress.com, to be much more iPhone friendly. It’s still not sexy, but it’s quite snappy and is great for checking your stats, posting an entry, or posting a bookmark on the go.

Second we’ve updated the Prologue theme to be much friendlier to iPhones both for browsing and posting. We now have about half a dozen Prologues that we use internally at Automattic to coordinate our development, support, and even communication with contractors, so I’ve been testing this out pretty heavily over the last few days and it’s quite handy.

I think the iPhone is a pretty exciting new platform, and I think we’ll do more to embrace it in the future. Having such a powerful browser available on the phone really opens up what you can do. I recently picked up a N95 because I’ve heard people compare it favorably to the iPhone, but the web experience is terrible! Once you get used to that touchscreen, it’s hard to go back.
