Are You Mac or PC?

In November 2009 Hunch asked its user base ‘Mac or PC’ and got over 76,000 responses, today it has nearly 400,000 responses. Since Their original report Apple has released iPhone4, iPad2 and updated its Mac models.

So the question is whether the computer you used defines you as a person and leads to you being stereotyped?

Some 50% of respondents’ are PC users, 24% Mac and 23% straddle the fence either refusing to be typecast or unable to see wetter the case has a Apple logo on it.

However many of the respondents use both technologies today, with the majority having an iPod and 48% either have an iPhone or are considering getting one. So it begs the question is it all relivant?

What does this all mean? Well integration, portability and most important inter-operability. In other words a one stop shop were compatibility is a given.

Maybe we will see more of those funky screens in the office and the impact of the iPhone is yet to be fully seen but its going to be hard to resist and makes those tired old fashioned and clunky Blackberrys look so unhip
