What\u2019s on your technology shopping list for this year? If you are like many other U.S. small businesses, of which there are eight million, tablets are at the top your list.\u00a0 That\u2019s because a recent report<\/a> from IT research firm IDC indicates that notebooks and media tablets, among other PC form factors, are a top purchase priority.<\/p>\n That\u2019s not surprising considering that a recent survey <\/a>of 1100 small business owners by The Small Business Authority indicated that 28 percent of you are using tablets for business applications compared to 19 percent who are using laptops and 17 percent desktops.
