Watch the Pope use an iPad 2 to send a tweet

In launching the new Vatican News website NEWS.VA, Pope Benedict is shown using an iPad 2 to browse through the site, and sends a tweet announcing the launch.

From the video it looks like Pope Benedict is also being shown how to use the iPad, and that the tweet is pre-written for him, all he had to do was hit the “Send” button. So I wouldn’t call the Pope an iPad user, per se, but at least he’s seen one. Who knows, maybe he’ll want one now that he’s played with it.
