Obama team unveils inaugural smartphone app
President Obama's second inaugural?
There's now an app for that.
The Presidential Inauguration Committee plans to announce Monday it has created an iPhone and Android app ( http://action.2013pic.org/page/s/official-app ) that enables people to follow next week's events as Obama is sworn in for a second term.
The app will provide livestream video of inaugural events, including the Jan. 21 public swearing-in ceremony. There are also schedules for nationwide events associated with the inauguration, including the National Day of Service on Saturday.
"This inauguration is a celebration of the American people," said Steve Kerrigan, president and CEO of the PIC. "That's why we've designed our app to make sure folks across this country don't miss a moment of history. Whether you're in Washington, D.C., or any other part of the nation, there are plenty of ways to be involved in the inauguration through this app."
