We already know that President Barack Obama loves BlackBerry handsets. While he does also sport an Apple iPad 2 given to him by none other than the late Steve Jobs, the Commander-in-Chief recently said that for security reasons, he is not allowed to use the Apple iPhone.

Over in Africa, at the memorial service for the late Nelson Mandela, British Prime Minister David Cameron, Denmark’s Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and Obama posed for a self-portrait using a BlackBerry Z10. It certainly looks like the First Lady isn't exactly thrilled with the situation. Take a good look at her face.

Is it that the she feels that this situation is too serious for such behavior? Or is she mad at the president for "flirting" withe Prime Minister of Denmark?
