It’s official the White House has an iPhone app! I installed the app 1st thing this morning to see its features etc… The app is free and has no advertising associated with it. I’ve placed calls into my White House contacts to schedule an interview with the app developers. The app has a very clean design and very simplified interface. One feature that stands out is live video streaming. With this app you can watch White House public events live streamed! There are many times that I’d like to tune in to a press briefing or other live event and I’m not near C-span but I always have my phone with me.

For example later today I’ll be on the road but I’ll be tuning in to an 11:30 press briefing from my iPhone in-bewtwen meetings.

And next week it going to be interesting to watch how people react to viewing the President’s State of the Union speech next week on their phone. 1st State of the Union watched live from the 1-foot experience.

What are your thoughts on the White House making an iPhone app? Cool, a means for propaganda, useless, effective?
