In an interview ABC's George Stephanopoulos, President Obama reveals that Steve Jobs gave him an iPad 'a little bit early', reports the National Journal.

"Steve Jobs actually gave it to me, a little bit early," the president said.

Obama uses the iPad to read newspapers that he used to read in print.

He also looks at blogs on the tablet, but that he doesn't comment on what he reads. He said that if he did once he would be worried he wouldn't be able to stop, and that he has other work to do.

Unfortunately they cannot sell it due to the technology rules I'm sure the white house has in place for smart devices... I think it was early this year or late last year that iOS got security clearance....

I don't know what's wrong with you guys... I find this is an interesting bit of information. Not only are Steve and Obama buddies, but also Steve gave him an iPad early, something I don't think he does for most people... Heck this is probably the most interesting news I've read here all day. Steve "may or may not" attend the keynote tomorrow.
