Well this is pretty sweet.
Pope Benedict XVI is lighting up the holiday Christmas tree in Umbria via his Sony Tablet S. Awesome!
The Sony Tablet S has had an impressive amount of positive word and reviews from the tech industry. I personally want one. However, it looks like the beloved Pope beat me to it!

VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI has illuminated a huge Christmas tree lighting display in Umbria by tapping on a tablet computer from the comfort of the Vatican.
Benedict brought the "tree" to life Wednesday with a Sony Tablet S, thanks to a wireless connection with the local electric grid. In reality the "tree," billed as the world's biggest, is a display made up of nearly 1,000 lights on a mountainside in Gubbio. It is 450 metres by 750 metres and covers an area of 130,000 square metres, or just under 30 soccer fields.
The 84-year-old Benedict has embraced new technology: Earlier this year, he tweeted for the first time and put the Vatican's news information portal online by tapping on an iPad.
