The most powerful man in the world is already well-known for his love of technology, and his affection for RIM’s Blackberry. However, when it comes to tablet computers Obama is definitely on-board, but his hardware of choice carries an Apple badge.

An image of Obama walking to Marine One after a town hall meeting in Fairless Hills, Pa from earlier this month, clearly shows an iPad under his arm. More specifically it is an iPad 2 with grey Smart Cover attached.

One of Obama’s complaints about the Blackberry after he became president was that security meant it was pretty much locked down. With an iPad 2 he should have a lot more freedom due to all the apps he can download.

While we are sure he uses it to view official documents and make notes, there’s bound to be a few games on there that even if he doesn’t play his daughters do. One question we’d like to ask him is if he uses it to search the web, and if he does, is the lack of Flash support a pain or a pleasure? There is also the matter of whether he has played Angry Birds or not? He must have, right?
