Today In History: $1 App from AP

The number of “This-Day-In-History” websites on the web is mind blowing – but what if you’re a history buff who enjoys getting that type of stuff on the go? The AP have you covered – they just launched an app called “Today In History” on Android Market that is an incredibly polished application showing events and birthdays from that day, and a historical picture that also becomes a jigsaw puzzle.

Pretty cool application that’ll cost you $1 to grab.

    I hate to be a downer, but Ted Kennedy is not 78. He’s dead.

    @ Andrew
    Ted Kennedy
    # Born: 22 February 1932
    # Birthplace: Brookline, Massachusetts
    # Died: 25 August 2009
    it says today’s Birthdays, he turned 78 on feb 22, 2010
    So its right.

    So Christopher Columbus turned 504 last year? I don’t think he’s celebrating.

    More likely “Today’s propaganda brought to you by AP”.

    @Artichokehold
    DaKing is operating with the knowledge that Ted Kennedy’s “death” due to cancer was staged by a consortium of right wing neo-conservatives with tacit approval from liberal hippy pinkos and underwritten by the mafia, therefore he is 100% correct.
