RJI Program Director for Digital Publishing Roger Fidler and the Reynolds Journalism Institute have launched a National iPad survey to answer one big question: What will the widespread adoption of the iPad mean for the journalism industry?
“The results from the survey will help journalists, journalism educators and other media practitioners better understand how the widespread adoption of the iPad and similar mobile devices may influence the future of the news media,” said Fidler, who noted that sales of the Apple iPad are expected to hit 28 million in 2011 — more than anticipated sales of PCs. 

Fidler is conducting the survey and making it available to all iPad users.  The survey is available until October 2010 and can be found at http://rji.ipadsurvey.sgizmo.com/s3/.  Those who complete the survey may be eligible to win iTunes gift cards by signing up to participate in follow-up surveys next year.
