Tonight’s vice-presidential debate is going to be a key event for all of us. Joe Biden is a seasoned veteran and Sarah Palin, while charismatic, is still not a proven entity. This debate will allow us all to really get a view into the both candidates’ ability to articulate their views in full view of the American public.

And wouldn’t you know it? Ahead of today’s debate, Barack Obama and his savvy technolgy team are at it again. Capitalizing on the success of the iPhone and iPod Touch, Barack Obama’s team has launched an application to keep you in touch with the local and national campaign happenings.

You’ll be able to keep track of all kinds of things campaign related … your volunteer buddies in battleground states, caller stats, photos and videos from the campaign trail and a whole lot more.

If you are a Obama / democratic diehard and want to keep abreast of the campaign as it happens, this is a tool for you. You’ll receive updated emails, text and news about the campaign and easily organize local gatherings based on the location of other volunteers in your area. Also, stay informed of the facts about Barack Obama’s and Joe Biden’s stand on critical issues facing all of us.

The application is very well organized with buttons that allow you to: Call Friends, Get Involved, Receive Updates, News, Local Events, Media and Issues. And, of course, there is a button to donate to the cause.

One of the amazing things that Barack and his team has been able to do is mobilize the forces to really capitalize on technology. He is the first to utilize the social networking aspects of the Internet to its fullest extent. And now he has gone even more broadly to your iphone.

Like all iPhone applications, you can download the Barack Obama application from iTunes or directly from your iPhone or iPod Touch. It works with both versions of the iPhone and the iPod Touch. You’ll need to make sure that you have the latest 2.0 software update to load this application.

This presidential campaign is definitely about change for the better. And, Barack Obama’s team has surely stepped up to the plate to keep us all informed about critical issues, when and where it happens. If you’re a news junkie and want to stay informed and get involved, this is a must have application for your Apple device.

By now, you’ve no doubt seen the cool iPhone ads. Luckily, the reality is in line with the hype. The Apple iPhone is one of the few phones that is truly internet friendly. There are many places to visit with a mobile phone, but depending on your phone and connection speeds, you may be seriously disappointed. The iPhone has revolutionized how we access the internet with our cell phones. I know – revolutionize is a strong word, but just look at how many websites offer iPhone content. There are a number of really good websites for your iPhone. The ones listed below are just a few of them.

Facebook is a website that seems to have been designed for an iPhone. There are many mobile applications available for free downloading on Facebook. A visit to this website via your Apple iPhone will allow you to share photos, thoughts, ideas, and more with your entire social network. Online social networking websites are becoming more popular everyday. To get a perspective, just look at how many new Facebook and MySpace accounts are opened everyday. We’re talking hundreds of thousands. And this is not just for teenagers and college kids. With Facebook and an iPhone, you can stay in touch with your teenagers. It’s easy to keep tabs on them if you have them list you as a friend in their Facebook profile. That’ll freak them out! With a few taps of the screen, you can see who their friends are. You will know where they are going and what they are doing because you can easily ask them. This is one way to make websites for your iPhone work for you.

Another website for your iPhone is YouTube. The movies and other items available for download on YouTube are iPhone compatible. You do not need a converter application to download and view content from YouTube on your iPhone. YouTube and Apple have worked together on this so that with your iPhone you can easily access all the video content on YouTube. This comes in handy when you are on a trip or away from your computer and boredom sets in. We do live in an attention deficit time in history, don’t we? But seriously, YouTube does have a lot to offer. From the funny to the absurd to things of a more serious nature, you can always find something there to entertain you. Have bored kids in the back of the car? Hand them YouTube on your iPhone and let them watch short clips from the Cartoon Network. Sitting in a waiting room for what seems like an eternity? Why not check out the content on YouTube and other websites to keep you from being bored to tears. After all, it is much better than just sitting there listening to your hair grow.

Another website that is a must visit for Apple iPhone users is iTunes. This is where you can download a great range of audio, video and text content for your iPhone. With what seems like an endless supply of movies, TV shows, eBooks and music, you could literally spend days searching and downloading everything that appealed to you. This is how iTunes and other websites for your iPhone help keep you entertained.

These are just three of the most popular websites for your iPhone. The great thing about this is that you can access them via your Apple iPhone or with your PC or MAC. How about that for easy access? Has the iPhone revolutionized the communication industry? Perhaps not single-handedly but it sure has contributed to it.
