Editor's Notes
- 13% of lawyers use an iPad 15% of respondents say that they use a tablet device for law-related tasks away from their primary workspace. For large firms with more than 500 attorneys, that number rises to 26%. Of the 15% of all attorneys who use a tablet device, 89% report that they use an iPad, 8% report using Android, 4% said "other" and 3% said that they did not know. (Is it really possible for an attorney to use an iPad and not know that they are using an iPad? I'm guessing that most of those 3% are not iPad users.) Using the same assumptions that I used above, 15% of a million attorneys is 150,000 attorneys, so that suggests that around 130,000 attorneys in the U.S. use an iPad. Keep in mind that this survey took place from January to May. I know a lot of attorneys who waited to get a tablet until the iPad 2 was released in March, and it was hard to even get one until April. Thus, some attorneys who answered the survey during the first few months of 2011 as if they did not have a tablet may now own an iPad 2, which would make the 15% and 89% figures too low. For those using a tablet, the top uses reported were Internet (83%), E-mail (73%), Calendars (51%), Contacts (44%), GPS/Maps (33%) and Mobile-specific research apps (32%).

- iPad Encryption – need your passcode/password to unencrypt your data. If you lose your iPad and it is passcode enabled, the data stored on it would be very difficult to access, b/c it’s encrypted – they would need to know your passcode. Have to turn on the Erase Data feature to enable it. Could be different if your iPad is connected to an office network that has a different number of permitted failed logins.
- I undestand that that flexibility might not be there for programs, so I'll come back to that in a second...
