Celebrate New Year’s Eve Like You’re in NYC with Times Square 2011 iOS App
There is just under 35 hours left in 2010! I have heard that celebrating New Year’s Eve in Times Square is something not to miss, the lights, the partying and just the excitement of what the New Year will bring. If anything, it is something that you have to try once in your life. I personally still have not made it up to New York City for New Year’s Eve, but it is on a list some where of things to do.
Since most of us can not make it to Time Square in 35 hours to celebrate the dawning of the New Year, why not bring the Times Square celebration to your iOS device? That’s right, Apple’s tag line for iOS apps hold true once again, “There’s an app for that”.
Countdown Entertainment, the iOS developer of the Times Square Offical New Year’s Eve Ball App – 2011 has announced the release of the app into the iTunes App Store! It brings New Year’s Eve in Times Square LIVE to your iOS device.
Some of the features of the app:
