Vivek Kundra has been appointed as the US ‘ Federal Chief Information Officer.  Nice work if you can get it “ here ‘s part of the job description:

The Federal Chief Information Officer directs the policy and strategic planning of federal information technology investments and is responsible for oversight of federal technology spending.  The Federal CIO establishes and oversees enterprise architecture to ensure system interoperability and information sharing and ensure information security and privacy across the federal government.  The CIO will also work closely with the Chief Technology Officer to advance the President ‘s technology agenda.

Good to see Kundra is an iPhone fan:

The two areas of Kundra’s fancy are new-generation mobile devices — "I believe the iPhone is the future for integrated voice, data and video" — and Web 2.0 technologies

Maybe the new president can wangle an iPhone for himself soon with this guy on the job. :)
