The White House Launches Its Own App
January 20, 2010
The Obama administration is known for its tech-savvyness and their latest move is no stranger to that. The White House has just announced via its blog the launch of an official "White House app" and it's actually a pretty good one.
On top of letting you access all kinds of content like news items, behind-the-scenes photos and on-demand videos, it will give you access to live video streams. Here is the official statement:
Now anyone with this app can watch the President’s public events at the White House, frequent web chats with Administration officials, and other events like key speeches and press briefings in real time. In fact, the President’s State of the Union speech next week is a great example. In addition to the millions of Americans watching through TV and websites like WhiteHouse.gov/live, iPhone users on the go will be able to tune in through their phones.It's available for free on the App Store starting now. I guess POTUS won't be getting that on his Blackberry, huh.
