A survey issued Monday by IDG Connect shows that 91% of business and IT users use their iPad more for business communication than personal needs. They also found that over 25% of employers deployed iPads to their employees.
Other numbers included in the survey -
- 97% of professionals use the iPad for reading
- 70% + now buy fewer physical books and newspapers
- 72% of iPad owners carry their laptop less
- 66% say the iPad has partially or completely replaced their laptop
iPads are not only a cheaper option than laptop computers for employers but they're also much more portable. If an iPad suits an employee's business needs it may be a better option financially than a laptop. 83% of the employers surveyed also said they would not consider another kind of tablet after using the iPad.
