Well, the iPad's certainly easier to use than his old computer:

He also admitted in an interview that he's fond of Age of Empires and the Red Alert series.

Whoa, he never seems this cool in the TV interviews. Jens's personal marketing department has some work to do, I think.

For checking email, read news on the web, and what else? I seriously doubt any security department would let a leader "govern" using that device.

He is the prime minister. No-one has to "let" him to do things the way he wants to do them. Even if his way is braindead.

and that is exactly how he governs the country, sending emails, making phone calls, and pressing the red button in the briefcase.

Amusing slant, but he could clearly do this with just about any device.
