Obama signed iPad with finger

The first who catches your eye in this picture is an absolutely calm, compared to the rest, young man in a T-shirt with the image of Barack Obama and iPad in his hand. Pay attention, he stands pointing to the iPad, and calmly waits for the US president to approach him.

A young African-American, let's call him Sylvester Cannes IV (this name was seen in the Adobe Ideas application that he used), wrote a request to the president by hand on the screen of his gadget. She said, "Mr. President, sign my iPad."

And despite the absence of the word “please” in the indicated request, apparently for reasons to leave more space for the president’s signature, Barack Obama signed the tablet.


Here is what Sylvester Cannes IV told the correspondent after this event:
“At a rally in Seattle, Washington, at the University of Washington, the president used the touchscreen of my iPad to give me his autograph. The security service at first expressed doubts about this idea of ​​mine, but afterwards they liked it, and the president considered it great.

He looked slightly surprised, but continued to use his finger while signing the iPad using the Adobe Ideas app. I even have a video of this event on my site. It looks like this is the first iPad that got the president’s autograph. ”The

mini-site that Cannes mentioned was created by him on this occasion and was aptly titled“ I thought, why not ask? ”. It has a lot of photos and videos, as well as links to sites that published information about this event. Thanks for posting, Sylvester!

This is not the first time that Apple products appear in the news in close proximity to world leaders. More recently, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev received from the hands of the founder of Apple a new iPhone. And from the photos of our president, posted on the Internet, it can be judged that he is a fan and an active user of Apple products.

The president of the United States in everyday life prefers to use the BlackBerry® 9000 Bold . Who knows, maybe after this incident he will pay more attention to the products of the "apple company"?
