White House Unveils Free iPhone App; Look for a Site for Other Mobile Phones Coming Soon
It was just a couple of weeks ago when we posted about a new iPhone app from the Sunlight Foundation that allows users (for free) to watch Congress in real-time. The app is appropriately named, Real Time Congress and also includes links to a bunch of "congress related" documents. This app is well worth your time.
The app will feature live streaming of presidential events, press conferences, and other events live.
The app also provides access to the White House Blog, White House Briefing Room, and access to an archive of on-demand video including recent speeches, press conferences, and "special events."
This is exciting news for iPhone users but what about those who use other phones? According to the White House, they'll soon launch a version of WhiteHouse.gov that should work with just about all mobile phones. It will be located at: mobile.WhiteHouse.gov
