New iPhone App Delivers Audio & Text of JFK's "Ask Not" Inaugural Address

April 29, 2009

For JFK fans or those with an interest in history, a just-released free app for iPhone/iPod Touch delivers the full audio and text of President Kennedy's January, 1961 inaugural address.

The best-known line from that speech, of course, is:

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.


Comments

Hmm

I'd like a Canadian version with Brian Mulroney's "you had a choice" rant and Chretien's "I put pepper on my chicken" dodge.  Heck, toss in Trudeau's "just watch me" and it'd make a nice little Canuck political soundboard.

How long before soemoen wants it yanked claiming it dishonores JFK?

Can we get one that'll deliver the full audio and text of his famous speech on the 2nd amendment too while we're at it?

C'mon David, you know you want to.

E. Zachary KnightThat is absolutely nuts there. As bad an experience XBox Indie Games was, the problems weren't with the self published side of things. Forcing a publisher onto independent studios is not going to help.05/22/2013 - 10:43am

ImautobotI gotta admit, I seriously believed Microsoft was going to "Bring It" with this new console. But they failed, and I think that failure might be Epic.05/22/2013 - 7:27am

Andrew EisenWell, I was right. Both Sony and Microsoft's consoles will be out by the year's end and both will be significantly more powerful than the current gen.05/21/2013 - 5:06pm
