Survey Shows Demand For iPad Higher Than iPhone

Mike Abramsky an analyst at RBC Capital Markets shared a survey from ChangeWave in wish 3,200 people participated.

The survey shows that demand for the iPad is actually higher that what it was for the original iPhone. In a similar survey when the iPhone was announced on 9% said they will purchase an iPhone as for this survey 13% say they will.

The two models that are of more interest is the 16gb Wifi only that will sell for $499 and the 64Gb 3G that will sell for $829. Both with a 19% interest from those participating on the survey. The other models ranged from 8% to 12%

Less people also cited higher price as an obstacle for purchasing the iPad (8%) as they did with the iPhone (28%). 

The survey also shows that up to 25% of potential buyers will delay purchasing other Apple products from iPods to MacBooks in order to get the iPad.

It estimated that Apple will sell up to 5 millions iPad units this year. Many people said they will hold for a couple of weeks or months to see if Apple will cut the price as they did with the iPhone. 

But I seriously doubt any cut will happen in less than a year. I also believe that when Apple starts running advertisement for the iPad, developers start making iPad only apps and the general public see the iPad in action. The interest will skyrocket.

So if you want one and have the cash on hand. Go for it as soon as you can.
