The White House (as in, the home of the American President Barack Obama) has introduced a brand new iPhone app, according to White House blogger Dave Cole. The app is a one-stop shop for everything there is to know about what the president’s up to, including blog posts, a newsroom, photos, videos, and even live feeds from various events, including speeches and even press room briefings. It’s actually pretty darn impressive — obviously you’re only going to get official White House news, but if you want uncut video of the goings on over there, you’ve got it.
The app is a free download [iTunes link], and in my short hands-on with it, it worked very well — the updates come often, the video is crisp and clean, and while I didn’t get to view any of the live feeds, I presume they’ll work just fine over a solid 3G or Wi-Fi connection. If you want direct access to official White House news, this app is perfect.
