Who is this “Vicki” and what makes her Rock?
Who is this “Vicki” and what makes her Rock? She is the one who never pretends to be real, she is what she is, like it or not. She is stilettos and flats, lace gloves and leather chaps. She is unique. She is a lady and a vamp, but she is never a tramp. The most interesting man in the world is still trying to get her phone number. She leaves a scent in every place she goes, it is a fragrance that seduces the nose. A hint of Jasmine and worn leather mixed with some unknown sensual musk. You may never see her coming but you will never forget her when she leaves. She leaves men breathless and women in awe. They want to be her. She is spiritual and a severe realist and never dances to anyone’s drum. She is the beat. She is the fire. She is cool like running water and soft like a baby’s cheek, yet she has the strength of steel. She can dine with Princes and Presidents, Rock out with Punks or roll out with Bikers. The company she keeps is always a motley crew. There is none like her, this Vicki. Rock out with Vicki if you dare, if not, she can live in your fantasy, she intoxicates and captivates. Once you have inhaled her, she never leaves you. Catch a beat and Rock on……

THE BUSINESS OF TABLETS (soon to be released report)
BUSINESS USERS REPLACING LAPTOPS WITH TABLETS; NEARLY HALF OF TABLET USERS EXPECT TO BUY ANOTHER TABLET IN NEXT SIX MONTHS
New Study Reveals Usage, Preferences and Purchase Intent of Tablets by Business Users
Tablet computers are threatening laptop usage in the workplace at a much higher rate than previously believed as business users flock to iPad 2s, and show interest in PlayBooks, Xooms, Galaxy Tabs and the soon to be released TouchPads, according to a forthcoming study by Resolve Market Research.
More than half (57%) of business users say their tablet has fully or partially replaced their laptop for work-related activities and nearly half of tablet owners (46%) say they are so pleased with their new tablets that they intend to buy another tablet in the next six months.
The report, “The Business of Tablets,” provides the first study of enterprise usage on tablets and the most thorough analysis of owners to date, revealing just how much the new devices are changing behavior and preferences—and how that is impacting the use of smartphones, PCs and TV viewing experiences.
“Workplace usage of tablets has stronger momentum than anyone realized and business users are quickly adapting their habits to use the tablet right at their desk instead of their primary laptop,” said Elaine B. Coleman, Ph.D., Chief Research Officer of Resolve Market Research. “These early adopters are among the most influential users in the workplace and will drive enterprise purchase decisions over the next major purchase cycles.”
Not surprisingly, apps are driving usage and purchase consideration as nearly 80% of owners say having consistent apps across devices is their most important need– even more than having the same UI (72%).
Among the report’s key findings:
- 57% have fully or partially replaced their laptop with a tablet for work-related activities
- One-third (33%) of current tablet owners already own more than one tablet
- Nearly half (46%) say they intend to buy another tablet in the next 6 months
