Tablets between nine and 11-inches are the most desired.
Tablets are still relatively new devices but that hasn't stopped the likes of the Apple iPad from infiltrating millions of homes worldwide.
Firms including Samsung, RIM, HP and Dell have all entered the market with tablets of varying sizes, though some have seen more success than others. Indeed Dell has retired two of its Streak models from certain markets.
Eesearcher NPD In-Stat has examined consumer attitudes towards smartphones, tablets, portable media players and laptops and found that the screen size determines its use.
Devices with larger screens support users with productive needs and small screen devices cater for communication and entertainment needs, according to the report.
Results show 47 per cent of PMP owners have a screen size between 2.5 and five-inches, while 54 per cent say they prefer laptops and notebooks for personal information management.
