Politics Much? Then Try Out These iPhone Apps.

by Terrence O'Brien on May 19, 2009 at 08:25 AM

More than one of us here at the Switched office are political junkies, so we couldn't help but get a little excited when Mashable posted its list of the five best iPhone apps for keeping abreast of all things political.

The list includes asap - Politics ($0.99), which collects the best political content from newspapers and Web sites, as well as Politics - The Essential Collection ($1.99), which is a one stop shop for political literature, including the Federalist Papers' and 'The Art of War.' Elections and Congress (both $0.99) let you find out how to contact your representatives in Congress and the Senate, and keep track of local elections.

We'd also suggest NPR Addict (free), which lets you stream NPR content (some of the best journalism and political coverage in the country) and Manual for the United States of America ($0.99), which collects the most important political writings and facts in US history, including the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and landmark Supreme Court opinions.

With just a few iPhone apps you can turn yourself in an endless font of political trivia -- and potentially make your friends avoid talking to you at parties. [From: Mashable]
