The quote from the video is:</p> <blockquote><p>“Steve Jobs actually gave it to me, a little bit early… [Reporter: 'Oh that's pretty cool'] …Yeah, it was cool. I got it directly from him.”</p></blockquote> <p>Jobs and Obama sat next to each other last February at a dinner of Silicon Valley leaders, so maybe that’s when the iPad 2 was gifted ‘early’. I guess when you’re the POTUS you don’t have to wait in lines like the rest of us.</p> <p>We know that <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/07/29/president-obama-white-house-staff-use-macs/">Obama and the White House team use Macs</a>, but using Apple products is hardly a partisan affair. Former US President George W Bush is also an iPad user, and has said in the past he is “addicted” to the device for reading the Wall Street Journal and playing Scrabble. <span id="more-21912"></span> I wonder if any of the Presidents (or ex-presidents) has an iPhone 5 right now?
