According to a study by comScore<\/a>, people favor their tablets over any other device.\u00a0 Out of 10, users have rated their tablets at 8.6.\u00a0 Smartphones, although thoroughly enjoyed by their users, are taking a backseat to their tablet counterparts.\u00a0 The iPad is the most well liked, which isn\u2019t surprising considering its immense popularity over the last couple years.\u00a0 The Kindle Fire came in second, but won\u2019t be overtaking the iPad in popularity anytime soon.\u00a0 The Fire sold more to lower household incomes, which is fitting to its $200 price point, but has a lower overall satisfaction than the iPad.<\/p>\n

The iPad is more popular among those who own them, but what about those who have yet to buy a tablet?\u00a0 Well 73% of people who are planning to buy a tablet in the future state they want an iPad, where only 8 percent wanted a Kindle Fire, and 6 percent wanted a Samsung Galaxy tablet.\u00a0 These numbers came from a study by ChangeWave<\/a>, who found that only 54% of Kindle Fire owners were \u201cvery satisfied\u201d with their device.\u00a0 This was quite shocking, as the tablet sold very well and was favored by many android users at its launch.\u00a0 It still is better liked than other Android tablets which only ranked at an average of 49% satisfied, but not near as well as the iPad at 74% of users \u201cvery satisfied.\u201d\u00a0 What will happen to Kindle Fire once Apple releases its 7\u201d iPad into the market?<\/p>\n

People love their tablets, especially well-made ones like the iPads.\u00a0 This is great motivation for companies to make solid products that work well.\u00a0 The higher the satisfaction, the more people want to buy your product.\u00a0 This is also good for companies like Drop Box and Prey, which make their money from cloud storage or tracking mobile devices.\u00a0 The more tablets that sell, the more people that will require their services.<\/p>\n

So what do these numbers really mean?\u00a0 It means that tablets and touch screens are more than just a fad, which are what some experts have dismissed them as.\u00a0 They are the next step of technological evolution, and they are here to stay.\u00a0 The growth of tablet purchases will affect our workplaces in a number of ways, including making enterprises write and\/or enforce BYOD policies, and increasing away from desk productivity.<\/p>\n

People enjoying their tablets is good for all of us.\u00a0 It\u2019s good for business, good for the economy, and good for us tablet owners.\u00a0 The more we buy, the more investment they put into making better, more advanced, and cheaper products.\u00a0 Which tablet do you prefer?\u00a0 Let us know in the comments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
