Cellular bosses reveal their tech weapons of choice
The smartphone and tablet PC market is awash with great new devices like the iPhone 4S, Galaxy Nexus and various new Android tablets.
To find out which mobile device is the coolest is not easy – but looking at what the bigwigs in the mobile arena choose may help with this process.
The CEOs of cellular operators can get their hands on any device they want, and if they are not happy with the phone, they can simply change it for another one – no questions asked.
Here is what Vodacom, MTN and Cell C’s chiefs are using.
Karel Pienaar
MTN CEO, Karel Pienaar makes sure he stays abreast with the latest Apple and Android developments by using both an HTC Sensation XL and an iPhone 4S.
Pienaar’s favourite apps include FlyCasts, Zinio, Golf Shot GPS, Living Earth, Sound Hound, Puniverse, Gainfitness, Sasol ebirds, World Atlas and WhatsApp.
When it comes to PC versus Mac, Pienaar is still undecided. “I use a MacBook Air for personal use and a Dell PC for work. I still can’t fully decide,” said Pienaar.
Alan Knott-Craig
Alan Knott-Craig, who will take over as Cell C CEO on 1 April, currently uses an iPhone and an iPad. He also uses a Mac to complete his Apple ecosystem.
Knott-Craig’s favourite apps include News24, Zite, Google app, Goodreads, pUniverse and Soundhound.
Pieter Uys
Vodacom CEO, Pieter Uys is currently using a Galaxy Note as both a tablet PC and a smartphone. Uys’ favourative apps include the magazine platform Zinio and Twitter.
Uys is, however, not completely Apple-free, and is using a Macbook Air for his computing purposes.
