Watchmen iPhone/iPod Touch App doesn’t suck!

Over at the Watchmen Blog, they’ve posted links to a bunch of iPhone and iPod Touch goodies. There’s a couple of “exclusive” clips and an iPhone app along with some of the stuff that’s been up for awhile. Naturally I grabbed it all. The clips are good, not much new content wise, but one of them has a much more somber tone and is probably the best “preview” I’ve seen so far. The App however is over the top. I only played with it for a couple minutes, but it puts you in an over-the-shoulder view of Adrian Veidt in front of his wall of monitors. You can tap monitors to watch previews, webisodes, motion comics, and see poster art. The more screens you investigate the more screens become available. The whole thing is running off an RSS, so they’ll no doubt be adding “channels” as the release date approaches. it would be nice if they released the source code to the app, or altered it in some way after the movie is out so that you could use it as an RSS reader in general.
