Wall Street Journal: Business Jumps On The iPad Bandwagon

While many businesses said flat out they wouldn’t support the iPhone when it first came out, some of them rushed to adopt Apple’s tablet computer. The WSJ profiles iPad companies and explains what they see in the consumer devices.


“When Apple Inc.’s first iPhone came out in 2007, many companies told their employees that the device wasn’t appropriate for the workplace. The iPad is a different story.

The company’s tablet-style device seems to be sidestepping the resistance that the iPhone and other consumer-oriented devices have faced in the corporate environment. Indeed, many businesses have raced to snap up iPads.”
