Apple Tops J.D. Powers Tablet Survey, Barely Beating Amazon; Tablets Top Smartphones For Usage

new-ipad-black-640x480-jpeg-1One day after Apple's big iPhone 5 news day, an accolade for Apple in the tablet category: J.D. Power and Associates has put the brand at the top of its annual tablet customer satisfaction survey. This is the first time that the influential pollster has tracked U.S. consumers on tablet usage -- it is known for its mobile handset rankings, which Apple also topped for smartphones last week. Amazon and its Kindle Fire tablet are, however, nipping at Apple's heels: the two were separated by only six points, with Amazon scoring particularly well because of its low price. Final tallies for the two brands were Apple at 848 and Amazon at 842, on a scale of 1,000.In addition to ranking tablet brands, J.D. Power also looked at tablet usage. In this, its poll of 1,985 tablet owners reached conclusions that reflect what others have also been saying: the bigger touchscreen on tablets is making them a much stronger magnet for content consumption and user engagement than their smaller-sized smartphone cousins.
