Just got an iPad. Who has some sweet apps to recommend?????


I also have an iPhone so any apps for that let's hear it!!!

So far have:

Netflix
Pandora
Tapatalk
Weather channel

 

I haz.
The app that I mostly use is AirVideo(free lite version), it allows to stream any video over wifi or anywhere You have internet. Mostly used by me to stream anime when I'm in bed lol. Can also convert pretty much any format to mp4 which will allow You to add any video to itunes.
VLC(free) is another great app until You get AirVideo.
I also ditched safari and now use terra(free no ads) instead, between many upgrades that it has over safari it has "open tab in the background" which was major reason for me to get it. It also seems a bit faster then safari.
Car and driver(freeeee) app allows you to d/l issues for free, its nice.
If You have cable or satellite there apps(all free) from major providers(comcast/dish/direct) that can communicate with your DVR.
Remote(free) app from apple allows you to control Your iTunes over wifi, play in multiple rooms(as long as You have apple express or apple tv in that room).
I have tons more apps but I don't know what Your interests are so just recommended few that are a bit generic.

Rant: I would not buy the iPad if II didn't get it for free, I also received moto xoom which runs android honeycomb and is much nicer, live wallpapers, actually useful camera with flash, browser with flash and apps that arent free from apple store are free on xoom.

PS. Jailbreak it.
PS 2. I assume You already know that You can create folders and that pressing home button twice takes You to "multitasking" menu as well as letting You control few other things when you slide to the left.

 

+1 for jailbreaking, then install installous. installous=unlimited free apps.

 

Hmmm. Angry Birds on an ipad would be awesome

 

Great info all - thank you!

My primary intent for the ipad is to have a mobile book reader, email access, netflix on the go..... however it will also replace my laptop at my house (or so i would like) so anything cool of any genre is game.

interesting to see VLC can be used on an iPad - i use that on my laptop

i am old school and love star craft 1.... i wonder if i could get it to play sc1 haha

 

There are various VLC apps, one lets you control your vlc player on your laptop via wifi. I use to hook up my laptop to my tv and use that to play movies. There's also a VLC streamer, that will stream any video you have on your pc to your phone. There are various remote desktop apps that are pretty use full such as teamviewer. I'm sure there are emulators out there but not sure about playing SC1.

 

Ok who has ascension. Game is awesome.
