[FONT="]All Things D reports today on a new tablet survey from Bernstein Research, which finds that consumers are “not interested in form factors that deviate from the benchmark set by Apple,†and that less than 15 percent of consumers prefer a 7-inch screen rather than the iPad’s 10-inch screen. In fact, more than 50 percent of respondents said that they liked the 10-inch screen best, prompting Bernstein Research to come to the conclusion that recently launched 7-inch tablets such as the Blackberry Playbook are “destined for failure.†Bernstein Research adds that this apparent consumer fondness for the 10-inch model goes some way to explaining why Samsung’s 7-inch Galaxy tablet has failed to really take off, and why Samsung is now introducing tablets with larger screens.

[FONT="]Bernstein Research’s figures also show that the tablet market is very polarised, with Apple dominating the premium top end, and a very fragmented lower end. [/FONT]
