Just a PSA: the DNC has launched a new mobile app for the Convention
It's the official DNC app, done jointly with the Charlotte Observer. It's available from iTunes and Google Play, and also at the link below:

There are features for those going to the convention, and for those who are not. It won't be fully active until Tuesday, but I just downloaded it to check it out a bit anyway. Looks interesting, I can imagine that especially for those going, it could be a very big help, with maps and local info, and even tools for scheduling where one should be and when.
As of now it already shows info about speakers and there are blog entries and news releases etc. And there's a social media tab for Twitter and Facebook which is active. I thought some others here might enjoy checking it out too, as I am. Those DUers who are going, I hope it's helpful and have a great time!
