Tablet Adoption Surging in Enterprise

Tablet adoption is increasing among corporate tech buyers. ChangeWave Research recently polled a group of 1,604 business IT buyers and found that 22 percent of them planned to purchase tablets for their employees sometime in the second quarter of 2012. Of those, 84 percent say they’re likely to buy Apple iPads — an increase of 7 percentage points from ChangeWave’s November 2011 survey.

Survey says 26 percent of Amazon Kindle Fire early adopters say they are delaying the purchase of an iPad.

Kindle Feels iPad’s Heat, Sees E-Reader Lead Going Up in Smoke

When Apple CEO Steve Jobs first announced the company’s new iBookstore and iBooks application for the iPad back in January, he said that while Amazon had done a great job with its Kindle e-book reader, Apple planned to “stand on their shoulders and go a little further.” And while that remark might have seemed like simple Jobsian bravado at the time, these days it’s looking downright prophetic. According to a new survey from ChangeWave, the iPad has doubled its share of the e-reader market since August and is now just 15 percentage points shy of the Kindle.

RIM: Time to Call Life Alert?

Research in Motion CEO Mike Lazaridis says that the company’s forthcoming BlackBerry 6 operating system will make “anyone that looks at it…say ‘I want a BlackBerry.’” For RIM’s sake, let’s hope so, because the company’s current OS certainly isn’t doing that now. According to a new survey by ChangeWave Research, consumer interest in the BlackBerry is declining at a time when demand for smartphones is on the rise.

Initial iPad Demand Greater Than Initial iPhone Demand

Given the years of speculation and hype that led up to its announcement, it’s not at all surprising that there is significant pent-up demand for Apple’s iPad. But that it exceeds demand estimates for the original iPhone, as a new survey from RBC/ChangeWave suggests, is a bit unexpected. The iPad is, after all, an entirely new device category between the laptop computer and the smartphone.

Imaginary Demand for Mythical Apple Tablet Exceeds All Estimates
