I had known for a while that there was an iPhone application for Wordpress but for the longest time I couldn’t get it to work properly. Thankfully, we have Google as a resource, and a little querying quickly led me to a solution.
This is a problem that is likely to affect shared hosting. You have to add the following lines to your .htaccess file (or create an .htaccess file with these lines):
<Files xmlrpc.php> SecFilterInheritance Off </Files>
I don’t know exactly why this solves the problem but I’ve read it has something to with Apache’s mod_secure. Oh well, now I can post through this Wordpress app (which is a much better solution than post via email!) The application is beautiful. Well crafted. And elegant.

Thanks for the lead. I just installed this on my Touch. Lacking a lot of features but I can see how it would be extremely useful for quick edits or drafting. I didn’t have any problems at all installing directly from the App Store. Perhaps a firmware upgrade is due for your Touch?
