In one of the more interesting surveys in recent memory, Retrevo.com answers the question of where various gadgets end up being used the most. It's all part of the site's Retrevo Gadget Census 2010, which reveals, among other things, that more New Yorkers own iPads than other state.

The reason? Who really knows, though Retrevo surmises that "maybe [the iPad] is the ultimate subway companion." And what about other popular gadgets?

• Maryland claims the most smartphones, possibly the result of all those government issued BlackBerry devices
• Colorado prefers laptops, and Retrevo didn't even bother to try and guess why
• Massachusetts is into eReaders, maybe because "with all those colleges, Boston and the rest of Massachusetts must be full of people who love to read"
• Michigan is home to more point-n-shoot photographers than anywhere else

It's a neat survey that, let's be honest, holds little real world value, at least for consumers. But hey, it's fun to read where your state stands (if it made the list).
