US President Barack Obama is no stranger to social media and consumer tech, having joined services like Pinterest and Instagram and releasing an iPhone app in 2008 to help secure his position in the White House. The President's campaign team is back for another round this year with the new Obama for America iOS app, providing vital information to potential voters regarding policies, community activities, events, news, volunteer opportunities, and voting and registration details. While the free app is only available for compatible iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches as the moment, an Android version is in the works. Obama's opponent Mitt Romney launched the With Mitt app in May and, more recently, the new Mitt's VP iOS and Android app.
