Her Royal Oprah has launched mobile apps for BlackBerry, iPhone, Android and webOS, spreading her nubian dominion further into the realm of mobility. Because the twitter thing just wasn’t enough. The app allows the viewing of clips and previews of upcoming episodes of The Oprah Winfrey Show, checking showtimes anywhere in the US, weekly polls, audio clips from Oprah Radio, articles from The Oprah Magazine, photo galleries, keeping tabs on @Oprah, and a bunch of other stuff.
While I’m not one to watch any Oprah (or cable TV for that matter), it’s pretty dang impressive that she’s get something out on all major platforms in one fel swoop, and I wish more app developers could pull off that kind of multilateral launch. Of course, Oprah does have economical resources comparable to a medium-sized African country at her behest. And hey, as it turns out, Oprah is approaching her final (25th.) season. Wow. Even if you don’t like her, that’s a pretty impressive haul. Download links are below, or go to oprah.com/mobile for a closer look.
