BY-NC-SA The White House is still keeping up with the latest in technology. If you're an iPhone user you can now download the new White House App for free in which users can get updates direct from the Obama administration. One of the most exciting parts of the app is its live video streaming. People would be able to watch President Obama’s public events at the White House, frequent web chats with Administration officials, and other events like speeches and press briefings in real time.
Over at Switched, Terrence O’Brien says that the Obama administration is technologically ushering the White House into the 21st century but that the app is missing very important one thing.
“The only glaring omission from the iPhone app? Social networking. The ability to share news items and video, or invite others to watch live streams via Twitter and Facebook seems like a no-brainer to us.”
Coming soon to other mobile phones will be the White House’s mobile website, mobile.whitehouse.gov.
