LONDON, November 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ –
In Britain, we love a good tablet. Surfing the web, checking emails, reading up on
gossip, playing games, Facebook status updates…the list goes on. But just how much do we
love tablets?
With a whole new selection of tablets being released, including Google’s Nexus 4,
Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10.1 and Apple’s iPad mini and iPad with Retina display, there’s
never been more choice. There’s nothing better than a good statistic when it comes to
determining obsession, which is why tech firm Storage Option did some research to
determine exactly how popular the tablet is, and how frequently the people of Britain were
using their mobile devices.
One of the headline discoveries was that 49% of tablet users said they were more
interested in using their device than talking to their partners! It also transpired that
20% of people are so attached to their tablets that they set a limit on the amount of time
their partners can spend using devices.
It also seems that the tablet is set to replace the paper back novel as a common
partner in the bedroom, with 57% of those taking part admitting to using mobile devices in
bed. On top of that, mobiles are used by 40% of people while on the loo.
The tablet is also fast becoming a truly useful tool. Thanks to tablets like the
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, which uses an S Pen stylus to let you hand write notes and open
multiple apps on screen at once, 40% of respondents said that mobile devices were
improving their efficiency. When asked if they would miss out on vital information if left
without a device for a day, 36% of people in Northern Ireland and 34% in South East
England said they would.
