We all know that the iPad can be used for all sorts of fun and entertainment, but the best part about the device is that it can also be used as a tool for education as well as remembrance in some occasions. One of those remembrance situations comes in the form the of soon to be released 9/11 Memorial: Past, Present and Future app that is due to be released on September 1st.
The interactive app offer hundreds of different pictures, stories and even some videos that will document that dark day in America’s history. The best part about the 9/11 Memorial app is that it’s only going to be available on the iPad, so those of us who own the device will have access to something that other tablet owners will not. The app’s developer, Steve Rosenbaum recently told the New York Observer that he just felt that the iPad was the best platform for this particular app.
“The nature of the photographs are so powerful, so to render them in anything but full color seemed wrong to me. And I didn’t want it to be viewed on a phone. I wanted it to be big and glossy.” Rosenbaum said.
One of the things that should make the app great is that it is more than just a reminder of 9/11/2001 but of the Twin Towers themselves. The photos and videos will document the development and construction of those towers, the events of that day and then the recovery at the site after the attacks. Another nice touch is that the app will be completely free from its release until September 12th and will cost $9.95 after that so be sure to snatch it up when it’s released.
