what?! he didn't pay for his?! booooooooo
oh well.
Steve and Bill Clinton are friends. Bill has used one of Steve's houses for vacationing and such in the past. They're on terms like that.
Why would someone want Bill Clinton written on their iPhone?
let me introduce you to a term "eBaY!"
That 'B' in Bill reads more like 'Rill Clinton'.
Looks like "Bin Laden"?
Now I know who I will vote for ;)
Just another reason not to buy an iPhone.
Cue unnecessary political debate in 3... 2... 1...
Oh wait... /smacks forehead
@Greg Jackson
Haha. You got low ranked. Now you're as famous as Bill Clinton and almost as famous as his wife.
jackass...
This confirms Fox News theory; Apple for lily livered liberals and Windows for upstanding Republicans, thats at least thats how they characterized it.
Karl Rove also uses an iPhone.

...Seriously?
I have seen lots of Macs on FNC's press rooms, in particular during Happening Now (Weekdays, 11AM East)
And I think it was dumb to sign an iPhone, since it can be "cleaned off" very easily. I'd rather get a signed T-shirt or a photo
But Bill Gates is a lily livered liberal too. Maybe it only applies to the consumers.
It's kind of like how Volvo is the car of the liberal politician and a Prius is the car of the liberal plebeian.
Being criticized by Fox News is the biggest compliment a person can receive. Just hope Jobs doesn't start hanging with Dubya and O'Reilly. I'd hate to have to throw my G5 in the dumpster.
gates a liberal? haha, only in america
Looks like Bin Laden... -_-
it does... lol
I'm glad I'm not the only one who say that. LOL
Oh forget Clinton, I'm still waiting on my iPhone to be signed by El Jobso himself :p
...and then after he signed, he stained B. loffe's blue dress.
@Greg
Like you needed a reason not to buy it, Zombie Fanboy. Now do a dance number to the tune of XP's startup music.
Up side of being famous, open to all those goodies...
Nokia n82 FTW
I don't prefer Clinton :D
OMFG...here we go again with -iPhone User. So this is the way you're paying apple for the share issue I guess.
Aw...bummer, and I thought the Bill's (Gates and Clinton) were pretty good pals...lol.
"Bills" not "Bill's" for heaven' sake.... (I recommend that, for starters, you read "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves").
Of course, I meant "heaven's" not "heaven'" .........
dumb
Reason #4523 not to vote for a Clinton.
Reason #1 TO vote for a Clinton:
Look what a Clinton did to fix the mess the country was in last time a Bush was in Office.
Although Jr. certainly has done far more damage than Papa did - a lot more work to be done for the next pres.
Clintons: Cleaning up Bush messes since 1992
I wonder is came unlock from O'Steve or he has to signup two years.
A Politician an A-Lister? I don't think so......... Boy is our sensibility out of whack when we think that a Politician is someone to look up to...
Wait a minute - why would anyone believe anything President Clinton said? I mean, major issues aside, he is the greatest panderer-to-whomever-is-standing-in-front-of-him ever. Would he not have said that of a Blackberry? A Treo? A StarTac?
This wouldn't be news if the term "iPhone" is replaced by "Zune".
Wait. He autographed his phone to himself?? WTF.
Oh God, ol Bill's got an iphone too
Guess ol Bill still prefer voice audio over push mail for immediate communication.
Thing is whilst this makes him an iPhone user it's only because he was given it. If he had actually made the decision to get one for himself then I would truely consider him an iPhone user. As it is he was given the iPhone as a gift and him saying he is a user could just mean he's played with it a few times not that he uses it as his main mobile phone.
Dude, what the hell are you talking about? The guy is probably given every single phone there is for free. Not to mention he's rich and could afford any phone he wants.
If the iPhone is the one he uses, then he's an iPhone user.
Errr that's what I just said. If he had bought the iPhone himself. If he had gone out and made the decision to own an iPhone then I'd say he was an iPhone user. But he was given the iPhone and, like most people in the world, has decided to make use of the freebie. I'm suer he will stop using it as soon as the next free phone comes along. Novelty value has a huge part to play in this scenario. You hype up your product and then send it to big names and you bet they will use it, or at least claim they do. Famous people want to appear 'hip' and 'with it'.
I hope thats not his real signature on the back...I can't even make out what that says...
But this is nothing new, Bush has admitted that he owns one and Canadian Prime Minister, Haper admitted yesterday that he owns one, but he also said that he's not upto date with music, his ipod is filled with 70s and 80s rock.
Bill did not have sexual relations with his iPhone. The touching was never inappropriate.
Being a former president. I don't think he can use the Iphone unless is secured and approved by the NSA.
Isn't he Bill "Private Citizen" Clinton now? The only difference between he and us is that he gets $250,000 a year for sitting around eating McDonalds and private security. I'm sure he can use whatever phone he pleases now that he's not quarterbacking wars, the economy, dates in the Oval Office, and secret jogs to some fast food outlet.
It's probably that more Democrats prefer Apple products than Republicans.
he sure got some big hands, lewinsky must have gotten a mouthful =O...
iPhone is simply the best smartphone. Our Exchange server added IMAP solving the last hurdle keeping me out of getting one. Am just tired of the suckiness of Windows Mobile and my Treo -third one this year. WinMo Treo was a significant downgrade from PALM OS, but Palm's push mail solution, Goodlink, put the phone into a coma which was not acceptable in my line of work. With my current Treo, I have to reboot every few days as it gets slow or will freeze up. It's my third one this year -Sprint says that's what we're suppose to do -reboot the computer every few days to keep it fresh. Kind of like what I used to do with my Window's laptops.
In fact, went back to MacBook after half a decade of serial Vaio laptops -supposedly best designed Windows laptops -making movies with a Sony Digital Camcorder was so painful, gave up. Took one look at a Vaio running Vista, and decided that was it. MacBook Pro now runs both MacOS and Windows (WinXP) when I have to and runs it better than the Dells in my office. If you think of all the wasted time rebooting and upgrading to keep your Dells running, you could get a Mac and keep yourself happy.
Can't wait for my iPhone. Happy to be a fanboy.
