AT&T to Market iPad to Businesses

On October 28, businesses will now have the opportunity to purchase the iPad directly from AT&T. While information on the pricing plans is not yet available, there will be a discounted wireless data plan. However, it is expected to resemble the discounts given to businesses that purchase the BlackBerry or iPhone for their workers. The president of AT&T’s Advanced Enterprise Mobility Solutions group has said that the size and the volume of business with a company are factors in determining the pricing.

Besides Apple’s iPad, AT&T will also be selling Samsung’s tablet, the Galaxy Tab. Again, further details have not been released, but the plans are only available to customers whose company pays for their wireless bills. On the same day AT&T will begin this, Verizon will begin selling iPads in their stores. These iPads will include "Mi-Fi" parts that can provide wireless connections for up to five Wi-Fi users.
