Apple might not be targeting its iPad at business users, but businesspeople are certainly targeting it. The situation's gotten so intense at Wells Fargo that a senior VP leading an iPad trial can't get her hands on one-her boss took the one intended for her, according to bloomberg.com.From the bloomberg.com news article:

Reservations aside, Wells Fargo saw how quickly the iPad might take hold amid businesses the weekend it was released. Finance executives of large companies-those that generate more than $50 million in sales-accessed corporate accounts with iPads, says Amy Johnson, a Wells Fargo vice president who works on the company's online portal and mobile strategy.

Another Wells Fargo executive, senior VP Megan Minich, is quoted in the article as saying, "We've got a bunch ordered that we can't get yet."

And that high demand in the face of scarce supply holds true even for Minich, bloomberg.com says:

At Wells Fargo, Minich is waiting for an iPad after her boss made off with the one she expected to be assigned to her.
