If you’re keeping up with this year’s presidential elections and you also happen to own an iPhone, you may want to get SPONSOREDby, a new iOS app that shows presidential candidates proudly wearing the logos of their big contributors.
The application features six of the presidential candidates for 2012, including a few who won’t be on the ticket: Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Gary Johnson. For each candidate there are top twenty contributors listed along with the total dollar amounts they’ve donated thus far — creating for unique images that can be freely shared via email, Facebook and Twitter.
In case you wonder, the data is gathered from the Center for Responsive Politics, the nation’s premier independent, nonprofit research group tracking money in U.S. politics and its effect on elections and public policy.
The only problem could be the price – we’re used to seeing apps like these being offered for free and I’m not sure that many people will want to pour out 2 bucks for the app with politicians. Like they’re already don’t getting enough of them. Then again I may be wrong…
SPONSOREDby ($1.99) [iTunes link]

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. 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.
