here's a startup/business IT anecdote: in our office we have pretty much at least two of every modern apple device... mac pro, imac, macbook pro, macbook air, iphone, ipad 1/2/3/air/mini, apple tv, mac mini, airport xt, airport xp, hell even an ipod or two. jeez, it's actually kind of embarrassing now that i see it all typed out. mac pros and macbook pro/airs get by far the most usage (dev and sales staff, respectively), followed (by a safe margin in terms of clock time) by iphone (everyone, all day long, for short bursts). everything else is highly incidental and we could easily get by without. the ipad (of which we have 3 or 4, i believe) sit pretty much unused. our imacs are kind of dead-ends functionally and the rest... more of a novelty than anything. i tried to use ipads during meetings and even phone calls but found myself fumbling. completely unnecessary when a macbook air is just as easy to carry around and offers a traditional interface.
