A while back we asked our users and followers of @GISuser to answer a few questions about their use or planned use of a Tablet computer. The following is a snippet / summary of some of the responses. OF a sampling of fewer than 100 readers we found the following:
- 59% already have a tablet
- Of the tablet owners, 41% have an iPad, 34% have an Android device
- Of the owners just 27% claimed their owner purchased the device for their use
- Only 16% of respondents are actively developing apps for Tablet devices, 39% are not interested or have no plans to develop for tablet devices
- 32% use their tablet strictly for personal use, 30% strictly for business use
- Roughly 40% feel that Tablets are cool and fun for web browsing etc… but overall are not terribly useful (interesting!)
- 34% claim to be interested in using their Tablet for GIS data collection, 30% interested but unsure how to accomplish that
