If you aren’t following iPad news, AT&T’s CEO, Randall Stephenson, has promised that AT&T could handle any demand on the network by the iPad. However, he’s now stating that the iPad will be a Wi-Fi driven product and that he doesn’t expect to see any type of strain to AT&T’s network.
What I found intriguing about this was that while I was looking into this, I also came across a poll taken by ReadWriteWeb that asked readers what version of the iPad was going to get. To me it appears that perhaps Randall is correct. Out of 894 people that took the survey (at the time I took the image) the top one is the 16GB Wi-Fi version. Now I could speculate about how most people that are going to buy an iPad are probably going to go on the low end because they aren’t sure if the iPad is going to be that big of a hit, or because they think that something else is going to announced soon. Of course there is the other idea that the iPad is only going to be purchased by the tech community.
Either way between AT&T’s CEO and that poll it is right in line with where I’m sitting. I plan on getting a 16GB iPad Wi-Fi version because everywhere I see myself using it. My main thought logic is that I will be using it between work and home. Going to look at it as my “kindle” and a note taking device as I have a netbook that acts as that now.
