Hasta La Gadget!

As we reported yesterday, President Obama took time from his busy country-running schedule in order to meet with Apple chief Steve Jobs, during a trip to California. That meeting wasn’t Obama’s only iPad encounter while out on the West Coast.

The above images was pulled from a rally at the University of Washington in Seattle. The note on that exceedingly calm man’s iPad says, “Mr. President, sign my iPad.” Obama did exactly that, signing on the little red line.

The man with the iPad, one Sylvester Cann IV, describes the encounter thusly, “[Obama] looked slightly surprised, but proceeded to use his finger to scribble on the iPad using the Adobe Ideas app.” Bringing together Adobe and Apple? How’s that presidential bridge building?

Cann added, “This has to be the first time an iPad has received a Presidential autograph.” Could it be? Seems possible, though, as we noted, George W. Bush owns an iPad, too, for whatever that’s worth.

As for future autographs, might we suggest getting the President to sign the back next time? It’ll last longer.

Check out a picture of the signature, after the jump.
