The election fever is spreading throughout the country. Its latest victim is Apple, which just released a new application for its iPhone and iPod Touch called "'Obama '08: The Official iPhone Application". Said application is the Obama campaigns latest attempt to create inroads among voters in this year's tight presidential election. According to Yahoo Tech News, the application features "information on Obama's positions on the issues, photos and videos from the campaign trail and news on the race." In addition, it also allows users to know about Obama campaign events and tell their friends about it.
I believe the Obama campaign made a good move by creating this application, because iPhone users tend to be younger folks, the major bloc of Obama's supporters. It also ushers in a new age in American campaign politics, in which technology and the internet play a major role. The Obama campaign's deecision to create this application shows that it is highly organized and is very attentive to current trends in American culture.
