Mobile Admin adapts the WordPress admin UI to be more friendly to mobile devices, specifically phones.
The iPhone / iPod Touch browser was the first target, but most other mobile browsers are supported at a basic level, and plugins can be used to customize for specific browsers where desired.
A plugin for the iPhone/iPod Touch devices is included, as well as a more basic plugin for Windows Mobile browsers. (Consider the latter a “beta”, but it’s mostly intended to be another sample for how to write a plugin.)
Most common WordPress admin features are supported:
- Dashboard sections: Incoming Links, Comments, Posts, Blog Stats
- Writing and editing posts (including auto-save)
- Tagging support in 2.3
- Comment Moderation
- Manage Posts page
- Manage Profile page
- Ability to toggle back and forth to the normal admin view.
- Support for plugins that include fields on the post page
- Compatibility with existing library of admin plugins
… with more to come in later revisions.
Patches are welcome and encouraged; if you’ve got a better looking / better working customization for any particular device, please submit it (via a Trac ticket – see below for link).

SPECIAL NOTE – Testing and bug reporting is especially encouraged, as only one of us currently owns an iPhone.
