President Obama owns an iPad 2

Launching.....there's an app for that 😉

I bet you he got the 64gb version too, being on the taxpayer dime and all... 😛

 

[Flake]

how'd he buy it. can't envision him walking into an apple store looking for one

His predecessor used to take off his shoes and count his toes all day, so I'd say a who President playing with an iPad is an improvement. 😛

now you know he only did that when he had to count past 10, so give him a break!

I read that Obama got to keep his Blackberry for talking to family and a few friends, but that government business had to be done on a General Dynamics "Sectera Edge" smartphone, based on Windows CE and approved by NSA.

Wait, is GD the secret company in "Eureka" ? 🙂

Haha, wouldn't you expect the president owning a Wi-Fi only iPad? That would be humiliating.

Humiliating? Hardly, it's only a device, not exactly something that means much to him. It's pure novelty 🙂

So there you have it, the leader of the free world is the proud owner of an iPad 2!

Not sure how they justified Obama's iPad 2 being Wi-Fi + 3G version.

And by the way, no, he's not using an Android or Google operating system. Bad luck Xoom and Samsung...

Bought with tax payer money I assume. His main device is the BB.

Bought with tax payer money I assume.

considering we pay for his salary either way, your point is moot. we bought the man's watch, shoes and underwear too. oh, and he also has a personal computer...

Well maby he can use his iPad 2 to do a better job as president.

I'm sure there is an app for that!

I think that App would require a Boehner-MccConnell zapper, a smart pill for muzzling Fox News and a special feature to neutralize the extremes of either party. Of course, to me, its seems that almost the entire right has become extreme.

There is no App that Powerful, even Google/Android can't do that and Google is powerful enough to make people eat their young!

I'd imagine he was required to get a 3G version so that in the case of it getting lost or stolen it can be remote wiped.
