Obama's Got an iPad

"Jorge, I'm the President of the United States...you think I gotta borrow someone else's computer?" [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-WC2TgWwrE]

Ha. In fairness, there was a huge deal made of Obama's blackberry back when he was elected.

I can see the dangers of having a personal communications device when you are the President.

But, the world is changing and yes, Presidents will need to have their own iPads.

I wonder what his favorite app is.

UPDATE: YouTube's integration sucks with some videos.  You can watch it here.

Two is Better Than One

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq2HalPB28s] Great commercial. Can't wait for all of my Verizon friends to get rid of their BlackBerries.

Notable: "Features vary by carrier." I have watched the commercial back several times (when I should have been reading) and can't find a single feature that won't be offered on both carriers.  It remains to be seen whether or not FaceTime will hit 3G on Verizon, and neither of the phones had Wifi connections prior to the cut to a FaceTime call (details matter) so this could perhaps be what they meant.  Maybe I have missed something, but the "features vary..." is very un-Apple like.  Tim Cook made it very apparent at the Verizon announcement that this iPhone and the AT&T iPhone are identical in features except that you will not be able make a phone call and access the internet at the same time.

If they had shown the Personal Hot Spot feature, that would have made sense.

Also, is it "two is..." or "two are..."? English grammar sometimes doesn't make any sense.
