I think the point was to show how lots of businesses are starting to attempt to increase productivity by purchasing and using tablets, which is really cool. I think this is what tablets are great for!

I really don't see why!

I have an iPad2. It's good device, but it's not a productivity tool!

Smart businesses will hold out for a 3G/4G capable Android Transformer or Windows 8 Transformer type devices.

It just makes more business sense to be able to connect a mouse/memory stick and have a decent keypad with a "tab" button for example.

Which is not a big amount when you look at 1600

Still huge demand, but I agree with pointing out the 84% or 22% fine print. By the title of this article, one might assume 84% of all business IT buyers are planning on buying the iPad, because that is exactly what the title says. In reality, only 22% of business IT buyers are planning on buying tablets, and 84% of those individuals are choosing the iPad.

In short, the number in the title should be less than 19%, at least if the goal were accuracy and not sensationalism.
