Norwegian government run via iPad

[Stampyhead]

Well, at least temporarily. In an article on CNN about the Iceland volcano disrupting air travel:

The prime minister of Norway was among those stranded by the closure of European airspace.
Jens Stoltenberg, who was in New York for President Barack Obama's nuclear summit, is running the Norwegian government from the United States via his new iPad, his press secretary Sindre Fossum Beyer said.

Apple should use that on their iPad adverts

I read this article before I saw the thread, but still the image of a group of politicians fleeing a menacing iPad still got into my head

He he, yeah, I realised that afterward. That's why I changed the title...

I just saw a similar article in Der Spiegel.

Apple would never be able to afford this kind of media exposure and we all know that something when banned (like by the Israelis), only increases its appeal. All in all, I'd say the iPad is going to be a resounding success!

just came across this article on CNN and I just knew that there would already be a thread on MR about it...

As others have pointed out, this is great advertising for Apple. I really want to get my hands on an iPad. Commuting everyday and reading pdf books is going to be great....
