Business Usage for New, Previous iPad Owners Sees Serious Spike2 min read

It’s common knowledge that intuitive and user-friendly iPad tablet is a smash hit amongst consumers for personal reasons – like web browsing, e-reading, social media, apps, gaming, etc. – but according to recent statistics that were generated by CIRP (an entity that tracks usage and consumer statistics for iPad tablets and other devices – the iPad is increasingly becoming a business place device for new iPad owners as well as existing owners.

Over the past several years, iPad usage has been dominated by personal endeavors. However, the newest batch of stats purports that the biggest bump in usage for this tablet device is actually in the business demographic. Perhaps as more apps become available that are “business apps,” business owners are paying more attention; as such apps can serve to make their operations easier and more convenient.

The new iPad has been on sale for a few months, and the sales are off the charts (not that anyone didn’t expect that). CIRP tracks using the iPad tablet for popular functions such as gaming, social media and social networking, e-reading, web browsing, and so forth. The biggest spike of all of these categories was in the business realm.

According to CIRP stats: 21% of owners of the new iPad tablet say they use the device for workplace functions; 13% of existing iPad owners also say they use the device for workplace functions. (See full CIRP Chart below)
