Are the customers of Apple Inc. a selected few? Or what is it, that makes the iPad buyers concentrate to a fewer mass, seems to be the question of the hour.

As the reports of iPads, being dispatched from the retail outlets release, it becomes clear that it soon will land in the hands of customers and shall be made available to all from April 3. In case of the pre-order the shipment flows from today.

However, the important question - who is ordering the iPads? Answered by the market research firm NPD, it is basically the fans of Apple who are getting their shipment through. As the research lists out 40 percent of the crowd who have an Apple product are more interested in the iPad than their non-Apple-toting counterparts.

The other important finding in case of iPad was the income -- those who made $100,000 or more are most likely to eye the iPad, NPD further says, age is a crucial factor as consumers between 18 and 34 expressing the most powerful iPad desires.

However when it comes to actual buying its only 9 percent of current Apple owners told NPD they were likely to buy an iPad in the next six months. On the other hand a massive sixty percent, in contrast, said they don't anticipate purchasing any fancy product for time-being.
