| Size | Answers | Share |

| 9.4 to 10.1 inches | 161 | 83% |
| Under 9.4 inches | 31 | 16% |
Operating systems
- 83% were Android. Among those, Asus was 31%, Samsung 22%, Motorola 18%, Acer 8% and HP 8%.
- 10% were Apple. Of those, 36% were iPad 3, 23% iPad 2 and 32% the first iPad.
- 5% were BlackBerry.
Phones too
Among people with a non-Android tablet, 81% used an Android phone. Among Android tablet owners, 10% did not have an Android phone. The author expected this skew, as the readership leans towards Android users.
The takeaway
Most readers have a tablet, it is probably Android, and it is most likely a roughly 10 inch Asus or Samsung. These are survey figures from that time and not a picture of the market.
