I recently purchased Ipad2 and trying to figure out what apps are good for work related stuff and for the play. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!
 
For work I use Dropbox, Keynote, Pages, Numbers, GoodReader, Notes Plus.

For personal I use Facebook (but it is the iphone ap, which sucks), TWC Max+, Flixster, AllRecipes, Directv, Amazon.com, Kindle, WebMD, HBO GO, Redbox, tv.com, ABC player, Angry Birds (etc, etc), Words with Friends, Stupid Zombie and a lot of news sites.
 
Echofon for Twitter
IMO.IM for messaging (FB, AOL, Google Talk, etc)
IM+ for messaging also
Pandora - Music stations
DirecTV if you use them
HBO GO if you subscribe to HBO and don't have mediacom
Netflix
CinXPlayer for AVI movie files
DataVault for passwords
ESPN ScoreCenter XL
Alien Blue HD for reading Reddit.com

Facebook:
i use the website on the ipad mostly, but there are 2 free apps
Friendly
Mypad

Games:
Plants vs Zombies
World of Goo
SSG (super stick golf)
Osmos HD (amazing game)
 
Ok Ipad users. If I buy one, will it really matter what storage capacity I get if IOS 5 will make use of the cloud? I really dont want to spend the extra dough on the 64gb version if I wont be needing to fill the drive.

The only time I've wanted more space was downloading movies to watch while flying.

They are typically what, 500-800mb for an HD one? Think the 16gb version would be enough for me? Or should I hit middle ground and go for 32.
 
I have 6 podcasts and 3 shows (less than a season each) and music. It kills all 64 GB.
 
What do you think is the best free news site? I have the basics with CNN, Fox, and also Fluent News for the variety. I liked The Daily, but not enough to pay for it.

Will icloud help with that? It stores all itunes crap out in space from what I understand and you download as you need between devices.

Yeah it should. With the purchased shows and movies you can just download what you need right before/when you need it.

The music it will help also; purchased or music from wherever you got it. But it seems like most people don't really have as much music as they think.

Pictures I'm pretty disappointed it. It's more like sync for recent pics.

I'd get the biggest ipad that fits in your budget. You'll find a way to use it.

K. thanks for the info.

I will say, I am thrilled that ios 5 will allow people to activate their iphones/ipads without loading anything onto a pc. That will help me immensely at work since Im not a huge fan of itunes at work.
 
Infinity Blade...awesome.

I see they are adding Vudu to ipad now as well.

This this the same dropbox promo they ran with the HP Touchpad? I didn't even try it; it is crippled bait-n-switch-ware. You get 50GB but the largest file you can upload or download is 100mb or something like that. If you are using offline storage it is for big files that take up a lot of space. It might be useful if you took you video file, split it up into 5 thousand pieces and uploaded each by hand. Not. Of course you could do what you want to do -> all you have to do is upgrade and that costs money.

Any company that does this sort of crap will never get my business; in the Touchpad world it was kind of an informal boycott. Curious to know if the iPad is the same bait-n-switch ?

Sort of

Box.net luring iCloud users with 50GB free storage – Cell Phones & Mobile Device Technology News & Updates | Geek.com

The deal gives the 50 gigs to anyone who uses a Box Personal account on any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The personal account is the free option, which would normally come with 5GB of web storage. There would usually be a 25MB single file limit, but those participating in this promotion will get that lifted to 100MB per file as well. Box also offers a $15/month Business plan (which allows 500GB storage and 2GB per-file limit) for those wanting a little more freedom.
