Dan Ruby at Chitika Labs — the folks who run the much revised live iPad tracker (907,000 as of Friday afternoon) — sent along the bar chart at right.

It shows, based on a survey of nearly 75,000 early iPad adopters, some of the non-Apple (AAPL) devices they own.

To Ruby’s surprise, more than half of those surveyed have PCs running Microsoft (MSFT) Windows and 1.27% own smartphones running Google’s (GOOG) Android.

“That’s a big part of what I love about Apple’s non-Mac products,” Ruby writes. “They tend to bridge that Apple-Microsoft divide in users.”
