The survey conducted during July and August 2010 involved over 1,000 UK iPad owners. Over 435 of the ones polled reported to use the device for more than 10 hours a week, with a majority of them taking their iPad outside of the home on occasional basis.

However, a mere 5% of those polled carried their iPads with them whenever they left home, compared to 35% who very rarely took the device out with them.

"While the iPad dominates among users for text based activities like perusing magazines and books, the laptop still holds strong as a primary entertainment device - perhaps due to the iPad's lack of Flash support. I know that I have been discouraged from readily picking up an iPad to watch online video", TechCrunch's Alexia Tsotsis posted.
