First thing you’ll notice about this picture is how utterly relaxed the Barack [ename]Obama[/ename] T-shirt sporting young man holding an iPad seems to be, compared to just about everyone in his immediate neighborhood. Second thing you’ll notice is that he appears to be pointing to his iPad, while calmly observing the President of the United States as the latter approaches him.

On his iPad, this young man – we’ll just call him Sylvester Cann IV from now on, because that’s his name – fired up Adobe’s Ideas app and used it to pen a request for President Obama.

It reads: “Mr. President, sign my iPad”.

Which, despite of the lack of the word “please” in said request, presumably due to spacing issues, is exactly what President Obama did, as you can tell from the screenshot and video embedded below.

Sylvester Cann IV tells us:

At a rally in Seattle, WA at the University of Washington, the President used the touchscreen on my iPad to give me his autograph. Secret service was leery about the idea, but they warmed up to the idea and the President thought it was cool.

He looked slightly surprised, but proceeded to use his finger to scribble on the iPad using the Adobe Ideas app.

I have a video of the event as well. This HAS to be the first time an iPad has received a Presidential autograph.

Cann also put up a mini-site for the occasion, aptly titling it “I figured, why not ask?”.

照片中這個(gè)從容淡定的小伙兒，身穿印著美國(guó)總統(tǒng)奧巴馬頭像的 T 恤，手里拿著一部 iPad 。仔細(xì)看看，屏幕上寫(xiě)著“總統(tǒng)先生，在我的 iPad 上簽名?！?/p>

那么，照片中穿著白色襯衫，背對(duì)著鏡頭的人物，當(dāng)然就是奧巴馬本人。

這部 iPad 上運(yùn)行的程序，是 Adobe Ideas，一款免費(fèi)軟件。他甚至沒(méi)有寫(xiě)一個(gè)“請(qǐng)”字在上面，他說(shuō)：

“在華盛頓大學(xué)的集會(huì)上，總統(tǒng)先生在我的 iPad 上親筆簽名了，雖然保鏢對(duì)此持懷疑態(tài)度，但總統(tǒng)還是慷慨地簽了，他覺(jué)著這事兒很酷！”

這是第一部受到總統(tǒng)簽名的 iPad 。
