Who doesn’t love a good gadget? I know I certainly love mine!
It’s almost comical how these executives — schooled in the art of war and talking strategy — can turn into your every day gadget freak when talking about the iPad.
But here’s the real kicker. Ralph de la Vega, the CEO of AT&T’s wireless unit — you know, the group that exclusively has the iPhone in the U.S. and sells the 3G data plans for the iPad itself — has this to say about his brand new shiny:
I’m flying all around the country. And on a recent trip I took it with me and was able to hook on the airplane with Wi-Fi. I actually did something that I’ve never done in a long, long time, which is work my inbox to zero on an airplane.
But I did it because the iPad made it so easy and I had Wi-Fi connectivity. So the CEO of AT&T’s wireless unit is using the iPad’s free wireless service rather than his own company’s — hell, his own business unit’s — 3G data plan. Wow. Really says something about this little device. Via ZDNet. (Yes, this is going to be a bit of an iPad reporting day.)
