A Northern Ireland software company have release a new iPhone application focused on one of most famous ships ever to sail (and sadly sink). The iPhone applicationis the first to be developed with funding from the Northern Ireland Screen PDF (Product Development Fund) supported by Invest NI and part funded by the European Regional Development Fund.

The iPhone application allows users to view the documentary, ‘Titanic Island’, which highlights the amazing feats of engineering that were taking place over 100 years ago in Belfast, with contributions from key people including Una Reilly of Belfast Titanic Society and Dr Norman Apsley of NI Science Park.

John Bustard, Managing Director of Awakin: “This new iPhone application is a progression from our previous mobile digital experiences, such as the award winning Armoy Armada Digital Experience. We are particularly excited about the interest this project is opening up in the USA. We aim to highlight the creative capability that exists here, which is built on a very sound design and engineering prowess.”

Version 1.0 is now launched and accessible via iTunes here Titanic fans without an iPhone can join the community at Titanicdock.com and enjoy news, events and blogs relating to the Titanic experience.
