I've heard from more than one companies that their management teams are getting iPads. Why?
Our company, Thinking Business, develops and sells software for strategic project portfolio management. Thinking Portfolio® is a SaaS tool that is used by company executives, steering groups, and project directors. The reason of its success lies in its simplicity and top-down approach. Now we've discovered that some executives are using it on iPad. Thinking Portfolio was designed before iPad was around, but its user interface is perfect for the Safari browser!
Management is always on the move, or in meetings. A smartphone is great, but its size is a limiting factor. I'm sure you'll find an iPad, or a similar device, in the hands of more and more executives. An intuitive tool, with easy-to-use management apps, is going to be a hit.
