“A recent business survey conducted by Information Technology Intelligence Corp. (ITIC) found 42 percent of participants planned on purchasing an iPad within the first six to nine months. Only 14 percent said ‘no,’ leaving the remaining 44 percent as ‘possibly’ or ‘undecided,'” Saltzman reports. “‘Interestingly, the line that divides home life and corporate life has blurred considerably over the past few years,’ says Laura DiDio, a principal at ITIC, a research and consulting firm based in the suburban Boston area.”
Saltzman reports, “When asked how they’ll use the iPad, 64 percent of respondents said they’d use the iPad for business, 31 percent for personal use, and 86 percent for both. DiDio says there are a number of reasons why the iPad is good for business.”

• Functionality (150,000 apps and counting)
