In the UK over the weekend Kelkoo, the shopping comparison website, asked 950 people whether they were considering buying an Apple iPad.
According to the Daily Telegraph a third said they would be interested in buying one, while 40 per cent said they would be prepared to swap their traditional laptop for a touch-screen, tablet computer like the iPad.
Kelkoo said that the Apple brand was well-respected by those they had surveyed. When asked why they liked Apple, 34 per cent said it was because its products were innovative, 27 per cent said they believed Apple offered the best products on the market, a quarter said the ease of use of Apple’s gadgets was appealing, while 15 per cent just thought the Apple brand was cool.
However, a fifth of those surveyed said they would wait for Apple to release its second-generation iPad before buying the device, and 32 per cent of people said they didn’t have any need for an iPad at the present time.
