On The View today, President Barack Obama talked about Twitter, his BlackBerry, his iPod, and briefly mentioned iPhone.
Obama said he still has a BlackBerry, but it's less fun for him now because only 10 people are able to contact him on it. He said everyone's afraid that all communications will be covered by the Presidential Records Act and become public later, so "juicy stuff" is not communicated via BlackBerry.
When asked whether he tweets on Twitter, Obama responded that he does not tweet though a "20-year-old" member of his staff tweets on behalf of the Office of the President.
Asked about iPhone, Obama responded, "I have not made the switch." See articles on switching from BlackBerry to iPhone:

Talk turned to President Obama's iPod and Obama listed a number of artists on his iPod: Jay-Z, Frank Sinatra, Maria Callas, but not Justin Bieber. Obama said he met Bieber who sang at the White House; regarding Bieber, Obama noted, "He's a nice young man."
