One third of iPad Owners Has Yet to Download A Single App

The whole idea behid the iPad's success is it's makes the pc and appliance or toy, rather than requiring all sorts of software and training to work it. No surprise that many people use it as just that. I could get by without most of the apps I've got; in a pinch I'd keep Hulu+, Netflix, and QuickOffice.

As with most statistics, there is no "right" or "wrong", but rather how you set up the survey as well as how you interpret the findings.

I read through the abovementioned Nielsen report and some of their other findings show, for example, 64% of iPad users are below the age of 35, which doesn't quite reflect the results of the poll on this forum. But without knowing more about how the data was collected, composition of sample size, methodology, etc, there's no way to correlate one survey finding with the other.

Common sense tells me that this should be more likely, however once again when it comes to apps people who are more able to purchase apps are probably in the 35+ range. I can't imagine a starving college kid spending 10.00 on an app when he can just as easily put that money towards something really important like beer.;)

I was thinking exactly the same thing, and look, now Nielson has retracted the statement, now it is more than 90% HAVE installed apps.
