IPads Used For Play, Not Work: Citigroup Survey

This plays into the argument that the iPad is a toy -- I disagree with this. Firstly that was the critique aimed at the first generation of PCs back in the day -- they were hobbyist's toys and if you wanted to do real work use a mainframe. Next I've seen friend in the real world who attach a keyboard and park themselves at coffee shops and get actual work done. One should also keep in mind that this is the first generation of these devices, my bet is that we're at the very start of a real change.

While I'm inclined to agree with the article simply based on my own anecdotal evidence, I am skeptical about the results.

There is a very broad definition of what "work" is, and the iPad is a general purpose tool, so maybe a lot of people do "work" on it that, from another person's perspective, doesn't look like work.
