Investors yawn as new iPads fail to impress

More than 60 per cent of U.S. households with broadband Internet service already own a tablet, and 70 per cent of those households with income over $100,000 already own both a tablet and a smartphone, according to a survey by Parks Associates.

The iPad's share of households with tablets dropped to 37 per cent this year from 46 per cent two years ago.
