Once you become President of the USA, people will use your name to get attention. The phone in the picture is going to be released by Mi Fone in Kenya. Strap “Yes We Can!” on a phone and it will sell! The Mi-Obama phone sells for $30 and so far 1,000 of those have been purchased in Kenya.

Here’s what Mi Phone says:

The coming of the new President of the USA is an auspicious moment for all Kenyans and the people of Africa. It is our pleasure to be able to launch the Mi-Obama phone as a memento that will always stay within the user’s hearts and minds.

What can a Mi-Obama do besides than trying to look Presidential?

What better commercial for RIM and its Berries than President Obama’s love for his BlackBerry. He is supposed to give up his favorite cell phone when he will start his new job on January 20th. In an interview with CNBC and the New York Times he said:

I’m still clinging to my BlackBerry. They’re going to pry it out of my hands. I don’t know that I’ll win, but I’m still fighting it.

What will happen with that Presidential BlackBerry?

The U.S. votes this week and what the people will choose for the next four to eight years will have a deep impact on the country’s near future. The way the president will implement his governing plan will influence lots of aspects of American daily life and, dare I say, some aspects of worldwide daily life. Basically what the president says goes! And what goes will surely have a certain influence on how the tech world will evolve. Above you can see Obama sharing his views on Tech Policy. We’d like to see what McCain has to say on the same issues.

If you happen to be involved in any way in the tech world, what do you think the new president’s tech policy should be?
