We had a chance to sit down last week with Glenn Lurie, the man recently selected to head up AT&T's new Emerging Devices group that is responsible for making sure the network's airwaves are supported by as many devices as possible -- laptops, netbooks, MIDs, e-books, you name it. Netbooks are clearly the push right now, but Glenn's eager to talk about e-books in particular, and it sounds like we can expect announcements before the year's out.

Glenn Lurie now heading up AT&T Emerging Devices

Glenn Lurie, formerly the president of National Distribution for AT&T Mobility and in tight with the launch of the iPhone, is sitting in a new corner office today, and the placard outside now reads "President of AT&T Emerging Devices, National Distribution and Resale." In the role, Mr. Lurie will lead the carrier's "strategic initiative to drive the innovation that will bring wireless connectivity to a host of new consumer electronics devices and applications." We're talking PCs, MIDs, UMPCs, cars, navigation systems -- you name it, this is your man for getting AT&T wrapped up in it. One of his first quotes in the new position was that "high-speed wireless broadband service can enhance a huge variety of gadgets," and while some may say that's obvious, we're just glad the man has his sights set in the right direction. More WWAN devices of any kind? Yes, please.
