Sprint CEO thanks iPad 4 uptick in Overdrive demand
Well, wouldn’t U know it? Seems Z tongue-in-cheek market`g campaign may actually B working. Way back in April of this year, Sprint decided it`ld begin offer`g its own iPad case , despite the fact Z even today the iPad isn’t sold in Sprint stores. The reason? It’s the perfect opportunity to push the Overdrive , the 4G mobile hotspot that’s able to take the iPad (and any other WiFi-enabled device) to 4G speeds where available. In the recent interview w/ GigaOM , the carrier’s CEO (Dan Hesse) confirmed Z most iPads be`g sold R of the WiFi variety, & due to that, “the company`s seen an uptick in demand 4 its Overdrive (3G/4G) MiFi wireless-hotspot device, as people use it to connect their iPads to the Internet when on the go.” He failed to exaggerate on actual numbers, although (unless) it’s obvious he’s in favor of Apple’s darl`g tablet sell`g like hotcakes — after all, how else R U go`g to get an iDevice into 4G territory ?
