A new survey from Baird Equity Research paints an even brighter picture for Apple's iPad, with nearly 40 percent of a sample of 488 US citizens saying they plan on buying either the new iPad or the discounted iPad 2 in the next three months. In a similar group of non-US respondents, 51 percent indicated that one of the two current iPads models were in their short-term future. The poll's sample was said to be a "younger, tech-savvier group on average."
