The results are in, thanks to all who responded this year.  There was 155 responses, and not surprisingly the iPad rules at IBM Connect.  I was surprised that there were not more iPad Minis, I thought there would be more of them in the mix.
The presence of only one response of Microsoft Surface tablet did not surprise me, for a while it looked like it was going to finish at zero.
In the “Other” Category there was one  Lenovo Yoga, one “Etch a Sketch” and one “Moses’ 10 Commandments” (OK so not everyone took it seriously).
The laptop question was interesting, unless I chicken out in the next day I will be headed down to Orlando for the first time without a laptop.  I am at a point where I feel anything I need to do during the week can be accomplished on my iPad or Galaxy SIII.  Of the 155 respondents  121 are bringing their laptops, and 34 are leaving them home.  I am hoping at this time next week I will still think it was a good idea to travel without the laptop.
Once again this year I am asking you take a moment and share with me your gadget plans for IBM Connect.
In addition to asking about tablets there is also a second question this year  asking about a laptop.  I am hoping for the first time to travel to Orlando with out a laptop, I wonder how many others might be planning the same.  Feel free to drop a comment why you require or don’t require a laptop.
Poll is open until January 23rd, results will be published on the 24th
Thanks to the 147 people who took a moment to respond, here are the results. Not surprisingly iPad won in a landslide, with a pretty even split between the iPad 1 and iPad2. I was a little surprised that the Kindle Fire, and the HP Touchpad didn’t bring in higher numbers.
Update: The Poll is closed thanks to all who responded you can view the results here
Once again this year I am curious as to what (if any) tablet people will be bringing to Lotusphere. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that iPad is going to win this poll in a runaway, but I am interested in the split between the iPad 1 and iPad 2, as well as which other devices people might be using.
Poll is open until January 10th, look for the results after that.
