Introduction
This presentation is based on an online survey among current tablet device users (n=150) and non-users (n=500).

The sample for this study is national English Canada.
The objective of this research was to provide some clear insights into the attitudes and behaviours of tablet users and non-users. Specific areas of exploration included (but were not limited to):
Impact of tablet ownership on online behaviour (including online spending);
Attitudes towards tablets on a range of issues;
Purchase intent for tablet devices (including timing of purchase);
Barriers against and reasons for purchasing a tablet; and
Some key demographics.
This survey was conducted by The Strategic Counsel for Rogers

Executive Summary
Tablet usage is still found primarily among early adopters (who also own many other tech products versus non tablet users)
but it seems poised to rapidly become more mainstream over the next 12 months
Tablets are changing the ways in which users access the Internet and their online behaviour
Tablet users are making purchases online with their devices, and are highly interested in other potential features such as home automation
Apple dominates the field at this point (not surprisingly), but that will likely change as new products are rolled out by other providers
While understanding the true benefits of a tablet is clearly experiential, tablets are seen to be a transformative technology among the majority of non-users (as opposed to a fad)
Familiarity with tablets among non-owners is high
Intent to acquire a tablet is also high among non-owners – particularly in the upcoming holiday season/over the next 12 months
Cost concerns and a perceived lack of need are the strongest barriers against tablet acquisition among non-owners
Access to enhanced content and a greater understanding of how a tablet can be used/will impact online experiences serve to offset these barriers
