The current White house stays on the cutting edge of communication especially to the smart phone crowd.

The White House just released a new applicationfor the iPhone and iPod touch (work with any internet-enabled mobile device, including BlackBerry and Android  is in the works).

This White House application is packed with:

• News releases from the press room,
• Photos of what the President is up to, and
• Archived videos of presidential events
• Live video streaming that lets users watch press briefings, Presidential addresses, and other media events in real-time.

So what in heaven’s thinking would lead to this idea?

.

Well, here is a couple for your consideration.

• The perceived transparency of the government would go up.
• The buzz would be favorable and raise our perception of the leading edge Island.
• In an increasingly  Apps-based world, our youngsters will be inspired to use their IT skills in a forward looking way rather than the commodity programming they may be involved in.
• Imagine the wealth that could be produced from an ingenious application.
