The surveyed was only people use Facebook and are "users" on MyType...... not a cross section of iPad owners at all. That would be like standing on wall street and interviewing iPad owners... and then proclaiming that most iPad owners were in the financial industry.... silly and pointless... not a legit "study" at all...
Heck, there was no mechanism to even determine if they were actually iPad owners.....

Totally agree-IMO most Facebook users are selfish, so there's that demographic explained. (OK-selfish might be too strong. If I were using my own word choice I'd more likely say narcissistic, but I don't think selfish is an extreme stretch.) As for rich, IMO the iPad is still in the 'early adopter' stage & early adopters of $500 devices do tend to be better off financially than the 'common herd'. Rich (and wealthy) is an opinion, of course. When I earned $20K/year I thought those who earned $50K/year were rich. Now that I earn $60K/year I don't think I'm rich-I think rich starts at $100K/year. So, as I said, it's a matter of opinion. I will stand by my statement that 'early adopters' of $500 devices tend to be better off than average though. Whether or not the iPad is still in the early adopter stage though, I'll grant that that's still a matter of opinion.)
