iPad is killing the competition

The popularity of Apple’s iPad shows no signs of slowing down, according to a recent survey by market research firm ChangeWave.

According to the firm’s May survey of 2,893 consumers, the iPad is still the tablet that an overwhelming majority of consumers plan to purchase. Of the respondents that plan to purchase a tablet in the next 90 days, 73 percent said they would buy an iPad.

The next closest competitor is the Amazon Kindle Fire with 8 percent intent to purchase and Samsung with 6 percent intent to purchase. No other company registered more than 3 percent of intent to purchase, according to ChangeWave.

The survey also noted the diminishing strength of the Kindle Fire after its initial release and surge.
