Survey: 32% of iPad owners have never downloaded an app

http://www.tuaw.com/2010/10/21/survey-32-of-ipad-owners-have-never-downloaded-an-app/

This is a fascinating little stat that echoes a few anecdotal statements I've heard before. Nielsenwire is claiming that a full 32% of iPad owners have never actually downloaded an app on the device, with another 5% only downloading free apps. That's a pretty crazy figure when you think about it -- with all of the functionality offered by third-party software on the iPad, almost a third of users have never, ever taken advantage of any of it. And I've heard similar things from developers in the past -- that a surprising amount of their users have either never downloaded an

iPad adoption rate fastest in electronics product history

http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/10/ipad-adoption-rate-fastest-in-electronics-product-history.ars

Some people still doubt the iPad's chances for success, but current sales rates suggest that the device could rank among top consumer electronics categories within a year. As noted by Bernstein Research analyst Colin McGranahan, consumers are adopting the iPad faster than any other consumer electronics device, including the iPhone and the near-ubiquitous DVD player.

"The iPad did not seem destined to be a runaway product success straight out of the box," said McGranahan in a recent note to investors, acknowledging the many criticisms about the iPad's lack of certain features at launch. "By any account, the iPad is a runaway success of unprecedented proportion."

The iPad's current sales rate is approximately 4.5 million units per quarter, according to Bernstein. That tops the 1 million per quarter that the original iPhone sold at launch, and the 350,000 per quarter when DVD players first launched.

If the current rate persists, the iPad could become a $9 billion per year business, blowing right past game consoles and cell phones to become the fourth largest consumer electronics category. That would put the iPad right behind TVs, smartphones, and laptops.

With numbers like these behind it, it's no wonder that companies like Samsung and RIM are rushing to score a piece of the touchscreen tablet market. With yet more competing products in the pipeline, Apple will have to work hard to translate its first-mover advantage into consistently stellar sales as it has done with the iPod and the iPhone.

Im happy! 2010-09-18
By Hannah
I like this even more than I thought I would. At first, it seemed a little bulkier than I thought it would be, but actually, this is what makes it so stable and probably protects the ipad quite a bit too. When I see people with the flimsy Apple case, Im definitely glad I went with this. Plus, it will surely last for way longer than the ipad will. Very good quality, and it actually makes the ipad a lot more usable, since I can carry it around and balance it where ever. So Im glad I got this. And I can plug the ipad in while its still in the case, so I dont even use my dock anymore. It only works horizontally, but thats fine for my purposes. It also arrived VERY fast, and by us postal service without lot of excess packaging and waste, so I like that!

Magnetic interference issue 2010-09-09
By Christina Ferrigno
Am glad I read the review about the magnet concern, somehow I missed the review before I ordered. But, at least now I know not to use the case. I did test the compass functionality (on Star Walk) with and without the sleeve and it truly does interfere. It is unfortunate, as I like the design of this case. For $7.20, I dont think ill bother returning. Not sure if the magnet can cause damage to the iPad am hoping for the approximate hour it was on mine, it did not.

Microsoft CEO bonus cut for Kin flop, lack of iPad rival

http://www.electronista.com/articles/10/10/01/ballmer.bonus.lowered.for.kin.and.windows.mobile/

A new Microsoft SEC filing published late Thursday revealed that the company punished its CEO Steve Ballmer for his inability to turn around the company's struggling mobile efforts so far. The proxy statement notes that his total compensation of $1.35 million, including a $670,000 base salary and a matching bonus, was lower than in 2008 due to the "unsuccessful launch of the Kin" and "a loss of market share" for Windows Mobile. The Compensation Committee singled out the absence of a real Windows tablet rival through a need to "take advantage of new form factors."
