Samsung Galaxy tablets are making ground against the iPad among people wanting to use their devices for work, according to a survey from mobility services company iPass.
Its iPass Mobile Workforce Report shows that the iPad retains a strong lead among mobile workers surveyed who own or plan to buy a tablet in the next six months, with 50% owning and another 15% looking to buy.

There are, however, worries about data usage costs undermining productivity. 42% of workers say that heavy charges or restrictions in their monthly plans force them to limit how much they download and upload.
Evan Kaplan, CEO of iPass, said: "We are seeing that mobile workers are becoming more cautious about exceeding data caps and deliberately limiting their data usage, which is hindering productivity. Clearly, enterprises that provision mobile workers with devices, or leverage a BYOD strategy, need to ensure that workers can connect when and where they want, and work on-the-go as cost-effectively and productively as possible."
The survey involved 1,625 responses from mobile workers worldwide in January and February 2013.
