Sylvester Cann, pictured below sporting a Barack Obama T-Shirt, stands calmly amidst an excited crowd, waiting for the President to come up to him, in his hand an iPad running Adobe's Ideas App. The screen reads " Mr. President, sign my iPad".
Which is exactly what the president did. Given that the president does not give autographs for security reasons, Sylvester's innovative thinking saw a way to get one anyway.
Sylvester says:
"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".He also put up a mini site to mark the occasion.
Check the video posted below. While you can't see President Obama signing the device you can make out that this is where he is doing so based on the photo above and the account of the incident.
