iPad owners by income & psychographics:
"iPad owners are also more likely to be extroverts and assertive, and would describe themselves as sophisticated and imaginative. Owners also describe themselves as motivated, driven and possessing of low altruism and low benevolence. High income, in the $75,000 to $200,000 or over range, is also a key characteristic of iPad owners. "iPad owners are best characterized as selfish elites," the report noted. "Wealthier, older and more educated, they are sophisticated, highly value power and achievement, and are not very kind or altruistic."


iPad critics psychographic profile:
"Critics of the iPad, in contrast, were perceived to be independent geeks unwilling to bow down to the House of Apple. "iPad critics, on the other hand, tend to be independent geeks: self-directed young people who look down on conformity and are interested in video games, computers, electronics, science and the Internet," the report stated. "These results suggest that the iPad is seen more as a power tool for elites than as the newest gadget for technology geeks."
