WordPress is incredibly popular, and there are a few Android apps out there written specifically for WordPress, but certainly not as many as the there are for iOS.
WordPress for Android – Of course, you have to start off the list with this app, the official WordPress app from Automattic. “WordPress for Android is an Open Source app that empowers you to write new posts, edit content, and manage comments with built-in notifications.” Requires a self-hosted WordPress or a WordPress.com blog.

WP Stats – “Wp Stats is an app for your Android device that helps you to access your WordPress traffic stats collected by the WordPress.com Stats plugin. It is much faster way of reading all important data about your traffic blog than opening it in a web browser.” Requires the WordPress.com Stats plugin or a WordPress.com blog. (Android Market)

The talented team behind the WordPress for iOS app has released “the most stable release of WordPress for iOS in a long time.”
This version cures numerous bugs and has been tested especially carefully in two areas: Media Uploader and Post Write/Edit.
The team is already hard at work on 2.6.5, so don’t be a stranger to the support forums if you find any problems.
