American Museum of Natural History dinosaur app for iPhones is out, it's free and I'm going to use it on my upcoming trip to the museum in NYC...

The American Museum of Natural History announced today that DINOSAURS: American Museum of Natural History Collections, the first science and education photo mosaic application for iPhone and iPod Touch, is currently available for download on iTunes (http://bit.ly/bcRz2v). Free and easy to use, DINOSAURS lets paleontologists of all ages explore the world's largest collection of dinosaur fossils with a tap of the screen.

Combining scientific research with over 800 stunning images from the Museum's vast archives, this pioneering interactive mosaic provides dinosaur enthusiasts an entirely new way to discover the Museum's premier paleontology collection--and to become experts in the process. Packed with information about six of the Museum's most popular dinosaur fossils, including the famed Tyrannosaurus rex and the Barosaurus, DINOSAURS digs deep to bring amateur paleontologists the science behind selected fossils, stories about their discoveries, and profiles of the fossil-hunters who uncovered them. The images are enhanced with social networking functionality, enabling users to share favorite images with friends, post comments, and view comments left by others.


A veritable pocket field guide, DINOSAURS: American Museum of Natural History Collections can also be used while exploring the Museum's famous halls to learn more about the fascinating fossils on display. DINOSAURS will be updated with new "stories" with in-depth information about additional dinosaur species, including such favorites as the Triceratops.
