iPad owners are huge Apple fans who already own Macs, an iPhone, and at least one iPod, according to a weekend survey from Piper Jaffray.<\/p>\n
Piper Jaffray senior analyst Gene Munster, who coordinated a survey of 448 iPad buyers on Saturday, said 74 percent of iPad owners surveyed currently own a Mac, while just 26 percent own a PC.<\/p>\n
Apple has also done a good job attracting iPhone owners, Munster found. About 66 percent of those surveyed said that they currently own an iPhone. A whopping 99 percent of those iPhone owners say they will use their handset in conjunction with the iPad.<\/p>\n
Not surprisingly, 92 percent of iPad owners currently own an iPod. And out of that group, 97 percent said they will use both products going forward.<\/p>\n
The survey also shed light on the preferences of iPad buyers: 39 percent were buying a 16GB iPad model, 32 percent a 32GB model, and 28 percent a 64GB model.<\/p>\n
It also found that 74 percent plan to surf the Web on the iPad, 38 percent plan to read books, 34 percent expect to check e-mail, and 26 percent plan to watch video.<\/p>\n
Another interesting fact: a whopping 78 percent of respondents said that they didn’t even consider buying an iPad alternative prior to picking up Apple’s tablet on Saturday.<\/p>\n
By the way, Munster may know a lot of iPad buyers but he may need to re-evaluate his powers of prediction. Over the weekend, he upped his estimate of first-day iPad sales from 200,000-300,000 to 600,00-700,000. But on Monday, Apple released its first-day sales figures: 300,000.<\/p>\n
