I like the ability to upload photos, but I agree about accessing the site's media library. That would be nice. Still, I will wait (somewhat) patiently for this app. I have taken the Wordpress app for a spin and it does what it claims.

It will be a great feature to add one day and among other things that I'm hoping will get accelerated support now that WordPress themselves have a strong incentive to support it for their own app. I just took another look at the screencast, and unfortunately as far as I can tell it’s just pulling images from the iPhone’s internal library, not from the WordPress blog.

Thanks, Jeroen. Yes that is a cool feature indeed, if that's what is happening. I would LOVE to have access to the existing images on a WordPress server but up to now the API hasn't supported it.

But reading posted pictures doesn't. From what I can tell from the screencast available at the mentioned URL it seems like it reads the pictures present in the uploads folder. Would be a really neat feature. Imagine posting from an MarsEdit iPhone with some picture, and being able to reuse that picture at a later date from MarsEdit on the desktop without any hassle by selecting it in the media browser. :) I should’ve been more specific, indeed reading exsisting posts works.

What do you mean when you say you can't pull existing content into MarsEdit? That's what the Refresh button does. (Grabs as many older posts as you specify in weblog settings).

Right now there's no easy way to pull existing content from a blog into Mars Edit. Hey Daniel,

It is not a full competitor, but I do see a feature I’d like to have in Mars Edit (Mac and iPhone). Right now there’s no easy way to pull existing content from a blog into Mars Edit.

Your point that it is becoming clearer as to what users want is a good one. There are many things that still need to be ironed out with the app store. For example, Brent Simmons is working on version 1.0.5 of NetNewsWire but only version 1.0 is currently available through the appStore. http://inessential.com/?comments=1&postid=3505 That said, Apple seems to be taking feedback from users quite seriously lately (Changes to spaces and stacks in 10.5.3) and will probably have the AppStore refined in the next 6 months. Although it's hard to tell what will require refinement and what is just a one time overload of everyone submitting their applications at once. Daniel,

It makes the whole experience of buying software for OS X that much more pleasant. Regards, Rob... It never ceases to amaze me how generous Mac software developers are towards their own competition.
