Tablets are steadily becoming a part of our daily lives and results from Yahoo!’s new survey go exactly in that direction. Some 2,000 U.S. respondents aged between 18 and 64 participated in the study, and the findings show us that:
- 15% would give up their car for an entire year to be able to keep their tablet.
- Tablets are now the second most fought over device in the living room, just behind desktops/laptops, and ahead of TV remotes.
- A third of men frequently take their tablet to the bathroom, while 40% of women never take the tablet to the bathroom.
- 25% of women are happy to give up sex to keep their tablet, and only 13% of men will agree on such an arrangement.
- 91% of respondents use their tablet in bed.
And you can see how it all comes together from an infographic below.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
