The White House Now Has an Official iPhone App

Can this be the most technologically inclined administration in history? Yesterday, on the heels of Barack Obama delivering his first *real* tweet (sorry boys and girls, someone else tweets for @BarackObama) the Obama administration released its first official iPhone app. According to the app’s description, it will give you the inside scoop on the goings on in the White House, with news, video, and supposedly live video streaming of White House events. I was excited to take a look at the app, but unfortunately I have a first generation iPod Touch, which isn’t compatible. From the screenshots, though, it looks pretty good, and out of 102 ratings, so far, it has 4 out of 5 stars, so it’s probably not too bad. Head on over to the iTunes app store, where for the price of free, you can have an inside look at the White House (iTunes link). Once you’ve tried it out, come on back and tell me how it is in the comments (since I’m stuck in the Dark Ages).
