Academic iPod Study

cezanne

Hello;



My name is Fiona and I am a student of marketing at University of Strathclyde, Scotland.



As part of my final year studies, I am writing a dissertation on Apple and iPod.



I am looking for iPod owners to fill in a short questionnaire on your reasons for purchasing iPod, opinions on it's competition, and on how satisfied you are with your iPod's performance. You can begin the survey here:

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=69205787632



The questions will take a couple of minutes to complete. You are not required to give your name or email address. All data collected is only for the purpose of my dissertation.



Thank you for taking the time to fill out the survey - I very much appreciate your answers.

pretty good survey. you forgot to add Dell to your "other mp3 players on the market" section though (i wanted to bash them).

I took the survey. You forgot iAudio. They make really good MP3 players. I have 2 of them. Feature packed. iPod's are excellent also.

I would find a "where did you hear about this survey? a) mac-cetric site 2) a PC-centric site etc. " question the most interesting background variable.

'Tis a good point, you could get a few biased reports from people like me who filled it in last night

Just finished it. Good luck.

This is a good survey and all, but the clear bias from a mac-centric site and the lack of randominization and control pretty much invalidates the results.

I just wanted to also say that I had filled it in... don't know why we are bothering to tell you since you will know how many people have taken the survey.



I also sent the link to my mates that have iPod's... and a few of them are die hard PC users.. so it should balance out your results a bit more.
