One third of iPad users have never downloaded an app

What?! Absolutely wrong. Look at Chart 6 in the survey they link to, which is even titled:

91% of iPad owners have downloaded an app, many of them have already purchased apps

I presume they meant to say 32% have never purchased an app, which is quite a different proposition.

Huh, you're right. Disappointing that the BBC didn't get that. Unfortunately, it looks like I can't edit the submission title anymore.

At least that bodes better for the app market, anyway.

9% is still too high. Seems like a lot of wasted money.

There's a lot of basic functionality built into iOS these days so someone who buys an iPad just to browse the web, photos, e-mail, music, etc really doesn't need to download any additional apps.

Why? The iPad has an awesome browser and is probably worth it for that alone for very many people. You don't need apps to use the iPad.
