Standard textbooks are so “old school” – the way of the future is a dedicated mobile app, or at least Still Motion Media believes so. The company, which is known for its digital books for kids (MobiStories), is out with a new titled called “President Barack Obama in Pictures” that is readily available in the AppStore.

As you can guess for yourself, the application chronicles the life of 44th President of the United States as a child through his rise to Senator and ultimately to the White House. But it’s not all about images — audio is included as well, both from the campaign trail and Obama’s historical inaugural commencement. Narrating the English version is the recognized speaker and top selling author – Sanyika Calloway Boyce.

Finally, in addition to English – “President Barack Obama in Pictures” is also available in Spanish and Chinese.

Plus, we know Still Motion Media’s next product – it will be about Michelle Obama, and again Boyce will narrate the English version.

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    Thank you, Dusan for posting this book. All I can say is, Wow. I downloaded this app to my iTouch and had my kids play with it. They first thought it was going to be boring, but when they saw that the book included facts about Obama’s shoe size, they wanted more. Now we’re all looking forward to the Michelle book.
