Small business IT departments plan on using tablets to replace notebooks and arm an expanding workforce. More than half of small to medium-size businesses (SMBs) in the U.S. have an employee using a tablet computer, according to a study by market strategy specialist iGR. The survey of more than 400 businesses found 52 percent currently use a tablet like an Apple iPad or Google Android-powered device to help run their business. Approximately 47 percent of SMB respondents said that they use their tablet for both work and personal matters, with those lower on the totem pole, such as directors, managers and staff members, were more likely to use the tablet for personal matters, whereas those higher on the corporate ladder were more likely to report using their tablet for work.
