RESEARCH AND INSIGHTS ON IPAD/TABLET USAGE

• A recent Morgan Stanley report predicts that tablets will have a faster market adoption than has been seen by any other mobile device. With over 28 million iPad devices sold in 2010, the release of a swarm of tablets from Apple competitors, and the recent debut of the iPad 2 there is now no longer any doubt that the tablet represents a new era in portable computing devices.
• There is an engaging and intuitive magic to these touch screen devices. But the big question we are tackling is: “How can we help our clients to leverage tablet user expectations and behaviors to unlock new value for their brand and deliver a memorable experience for their customers?” And many, rightfully, want to know the most efficient and effective way to ensure there is a measurable return on the investment required to do this right.
• So, as we are wired to do, we are starting with facts. We created this document to help give some context to the data that is informing our decisions and that of our clients. We think you will find some of the answers surprising and, as often is the case, quite different from what some of the “experts” predicted.
• We hope you find this helpful in the discussions you are having as you continue to craft and execute your strategies.

However, putting this in to perspective, current tablet usage is still VERY small in comparison to the other interfaces we design for.

• Thinkpad X220 convertible tablet/notebook will join Lenovo's upcoming X220 notebook.
• Both products are the latest additions to the company's X series of ultraportable notebooks and tablet/notebooks with 12.5-inch screens, and both are slated to reach store shelves April 2011.

• The tablet wars are coming to Staples in April. According to a leaked internal memo, employees will be trained on the Motorola Xoom and RIM PlayBook at the end of this month with both tablets then launching the following month.
• That timetable is inline with the PlayBook’s rumored launch, but RIM has not officially announced its launch details including release date or price. This move does somewhat hint about the PlayBook’s future though.
• It only makes sense that at least the PlayBook sold by Staples will not have 3G connectivity and just WiFi. The retailer does not sell any wireless carrier-specific products and that will likely not change with the PlayBook. Staples is about grab and go-type items.

iPad competition
RESEARCH AND INSIGHTS ON IPAD/TABLET USAGE
10
• RBC analyst Mike Abramsky believes that Google’s Android OS is going dominate the tablet market by 2014.
• “While Apple’s iPad may continue to set the bar high for experience, we expect Android to dominate (40% share Tablets by 2014), given its broader support from OEMs and carriers and expected budget-priced Android Tablets from Asia.”
• The deciding factors, according to the analyst (who also covers Apple), will be innovation from Apple’s competitors and the appearance of cheap Android tablets from Asia.
• Bryan Chaffin from Mac Observer questions this, given that so far few Android tablets have shipped and those that have are markedly more expensive than Apple’s iPad line. Apple seems also to have 60% of the world’s capacitive touch displays locked up in contract, therefore chances of competitors getting their hands on cheap supply is unlikely.

• Interestingly, however, Amazon launched it’s Android app store in March 2011 and they have a music and movie store to rival Apple.
• There are rumors that Amazon could launch a fully functional tablet, and have shown they are capable of building good hardware (note the success of the Kindle).
• They could according to Business Insider, be perhaps one of the most serious threats to Apple’s dominance.

Initial reports when the iPad first came on to the market suggested that the typical user was older males with greater disposable incomes. However, this research conducted by Nielsen suggested that in fact only sixty-five percent of them are male and 63 percent of them are under the age of 35.

iPad versus other tablets• Nielsen found that Kindle owners tend to be wealthier than iPad
owners. Forty-four percent of them make more than $80,000/year compared to 39 percent of iPad owners and 37 percent of iPhone owners.
• They also tend to have more education: 27 percent of Kindle owners have Master’s degrees or doctorates.
• The kindle is used by a distinctly older age group than the iPad.

iPad versus other tablets • According to Seeking Alpha , a recent poll by Pew Research shows that
boomers still place reading a book, magazine or newspaper high up on their daily activities and they are still willing to pay for it.
• The Kindle was one of the most common 2009 Christmas presents for this group, and Amazon's e-books outsold paper books for the first time on Christmas day. They believe that the boomers like its low price, simple lines, keyboard and the fact it is "grandchild proof."

Who bought the iPad 2?According to research conducted by Piper Jaffrey and validated by Deutsche
Bank:
• 400,000 to 500,000 iPad 2s sold in the first weekend, compared with 300,000 iPad 1s in its first weekend last year.
• 70% of iPad 2 buyers were new to the iPad, compared with 23% of iPhone 4 buyers who were new to the iPhone at launch.
• Buyers were split almost evenly between Mac and PC users (51%/49%). By contrast, the split for the original iPad was 74%/26%.
• 47% of buyers were purchasing a 3G model, which carries a $130 premium.
• 41% purchased the 32GB iPad 2, up from 32% who bought the 32GB version of the original iPad. The 64GB models also gained a slight share.
• 65% of buyers owned an iPhone, 24% owned a Kindle (up from 13% of original iPad buyers), but only 6% plan to read with their iPad (down from 19% in Piper Jaffray's first iPad survey).
• 17% expect to use apps and play games, up from 9%, which suggests that the App Store ecosystem is growing.Source: http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2011/03/13/piper-jaffray-ipad-2-totally-sold-out-70-to-new-buyers/ (13 Mar 2011)

How are iPads used?
• On average, around 74.8 percent of iPad users spend between one and five hours a day on their tablet device; 15.3 percent spend less than an hour; and 9.8 percent spend five or more hours per day.
• Web browsing occupies 37.7 percent of the time spent on the iPad, followed by 23.6 percent of time spent on email, Facebook, and other communication apps. The lowest category, at only 10.2 percent, was spent playing games.
• Nearly 80 percent of respondents (77.6) said they use their iPads more often now than they did when they first got them – so it wasn’t a novelty purchase people did, in fact, find a use, or even more uses as time went on.
• 71 percent of participants use their iPads between one and five hours per day. Additionally, 28.9 percent said that their iPad has become their primary computer. The iPad was found to be used most often by those surveyed: 31.8 percent of the time. Laptop usage, at 31 percent, fell just under, with the desktop further back still at 22.1 percent, and smartphone usage coming in last at 15.2 percent.

• Most participants reported spending the bulk of their iPad time browsing the Web (37.7 percent) while 39.4 percent claim to have downloaded between 20 and 50 apps (most people paid for about 10 apps).
• 74.5 percent of those surveyed read books on their iPad. But, though the iPad is a popular book device, 50 percent of users who read on their iPads chose the Kindle app as their preferred reading app. Only 42.4 percent chose iBooks first. Amazon is clearly winning the e-book war by being platform-agnostic.
• Alok Saboo in June 2010 analyzed the popular downloads in the Apple app store for the iPad and iPhone and found that reading constitutes an important element on the iPad. For example, Books, News, and Education apps are far more important in the case of iPads, accounting for around 20% usage, whereas they only account for about 3% on the iPhone.
• Similarly Morgan Stanley argues that iPads are currently about consumption as opposed to creation. But this could be entirely due to the apps available. Over time, as more ‘creation’ focused tools become available, this usage could increase.

• iPads are considered to be less personal than iPhones.
• As a result, 46% of tablet users allow others to use their devices, while only about one-third of smartphone and eReader users do the same (34% smartphone users, 33% eReader users).

What are the most used iPad apps?• A Business Insider survey found that 56.1 percent of respondents
have downloaded 20 or more apps. Most have downloaded around 10 paid apps (52.3 percent having downloaded 6-20 paid apps). So while free apps account for a majority of downloads, paid apps are by no means being ignored.
• Nielsen’s survey of 5000 iPad users in August 2010 found that 32 percent, may not be downloading any apps from the App Store, a Nielsen study suggests.
• Whether it be paid or free, most people use 10 apps or fewer on a regular basis, leaving half or more of their apps ignored shortly after download. In fact, the most commonly used app is one you don’t even download: Safari. The built-in browser remains the iPad’s killer app.
• When viewing news on the iPad, the majority (37 percent) preferred the iPad’s web browser, while those using news apps came in a close second at 34.7 percent. In last place was newsreader apps such as Flipboard or Reeder with 28.3 percent.

What are the most used iPad apps?• In a study of the top paid and free apps in June 2010, games
constitute almost half of iPhone usage, they account for only about a quarter on the iPad. In general, on the iPhone the usage is restricted to a few categories of apps.
• The top three categories on the iPhone (i.e., Games, Entertainment, and Utilities) account for over 75% of usage. In contrast, on the iPad the top three categories (i.e., Games, Entertainment, and Productivity) account for only 46%. The iPad is clearly being used for a variety of purposes.

ROI from iPad usage
However Forrester (February, 2011) flags the fact that people are still very resistant to paying for content:
“Sales of paid digital content have stalled, although consumer demand for many services is still growing. Despite a clear and profound shift in the way we access and consume media content, traditional content providers have, on the whole, failed to adapt their products to meet consumer needs. Social media, exemplified by Facebook, has changed the way Internet users engage with content: They now expect an interactive, engaged, and connected digital content experience — and, according to our surveys, they are willing to pay for it. Radical product innovation is required to build customer-centric premium digital content experiences. We have to add SPARC: Content must be social, participative, accessible, relevant, and connected.”

• The article “Peace in the home: Sharing an iPad with your spouse” talks about the various issues around co-sharing the iPad and trying to update music and movies from 2 iTunes accounts as an issue, There are also privacy issues around applications such as Twitter and Facebook, which automatically remember you once you are logged in to the app.
• Accessories such as Vogel’s RingO® Universal iPad Mounting System - their “iPad on the Wall” - keeping the iPad safe by securely mounting it and other tablets everywhere the user goes, helps make the tablet more accessible round the home.

Adoption in the enterprise market• The iPad is gaining more traction in the enterprise market with more
than 80 percent of Fortune 100 companies either already using the devices, or ramping up support for the multimedia tablet. Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer discussed the iPad adoption rate during the company’s first fiscal quarter earnings report on Tuesday January 18 2011.
“Enterprise CIOs are adding iPad to their approved device list at an amazing rate,” Mr. Oppenheimer said. “Today over 80 percent of the Fortune 100 are already deploying or piloting iPad, up from 65 percent in the September quarter.”
• The only barrier to a wider-spread adoption in the enterprise market are the additional mobile IT costs that are likely to be incurred as a result.

Politics
• According to The Telegraph, peers in the British House of Lords will soon be able to use iPads and other mobile internet devices during debates. Under previous rules, members of the House of Lords weren't allowed to use any electronic devices; a restriction the Lords Administration and Works Committee said was "incomplete, outdated and contradictory."
• For a trial period of one year, Lords will be able to use iPads, iPhones and other smartphones and e-readers "to access Parliamentary papers and other documents which are clearly and closely relevant to the business before the House," according to a report issued by the Lords Administration and Works Committee.
Dentistry
• Advantage Technologies announced the launch today of the DDSLink application for iPad at the 92nd Meeting of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons in Chicago.

As a research tool in the field• The Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI) recently announced they are
about to begin a pilot program that will study how the Apple’s iPad can be used in field research.
• This fall, iPads will be distributed in “Research Methods in Global Health Sciences II,” a course in DGHI’s Master of Science in Global Health (MSc-GH) degree program, which is taught by DGHI member and sociologist Jen’nan Read. The course introduces students to a range of methodological techniques used in global health research, including qualitative field research, quantitative survey research, evaluations, and interventions.
• In the article, Read goes on to give examples of how the iPad can increase research efficiency in the field by allowing students in low income areas to record more data than traditional methods are able to offer. Read mentions some of the key features of the iPad – small form factor, lightweight, touch-screen, Wi-Fi, and 3G – as being essential when it comes to field research and survey data collection.

In Schools / Education
• Numerous schools have been reported as piloting the use of iPads in the classroom. The report “The Impact of the iPad on K-12 Schools” documents the findings from 3 trials. Issues or challenges center around the ability to have one iPad per student, and the teething problems or changes that were made to allow the ability to share class assignments.
• However, all students and teachers in all pilots loved the use of the tool and teachers claimed that children became more engaged than they had been using traditional teaching methods. The ability to instantly ‘check a fact out’ made it infinitely more engaging.

Conclusions
RESEARCH AND INSIGHTS ON IPAD/TABLET USAGE
50
Conclusions• Findings suggest that, in the immediate future at least, the iPad will
remain the most dominant tablet on the market.
• The demographic of the users of the iPad swings to the younger, but slightly more affluent users. Sixty-five percent of owners are male.
• There appears to be a trend of people buying a tablet and finding far more uses for them than they originally expected. Consequently, the role of other devices in the home have changed or reduced.
• Issues however exist around privacy and security, especially in homes were the iPad is a shared resource.
• Interestingly there is also an ever increasing adoption of tablet usage at work, both through individuals choosing to use their own tablet, but also as a consequence of some enterprise organizations making significant investments in the device for staff, Financial Services being one of the earliest adopters.
• Games, Entertainment, and Productivity are the top reasons for using an iPad, but there is still some resistance to purchasing apps, with Nielsen suggesting thirty-two percent of iPad owners have never downloaded an app.
• Safari is still the most commonly used app.
