So I took the plunge and got myself a shiny new iPad. Could anyone recommend some good apps. Any genre really, just apps that are useful, fun etc.

For news / article type stuff:

Instapaper
Flipboard
Reeder

Games:

Lego Harry Potter
Real Racing 2

National Geographic do some nice ones like:

7 Billion
50 Best Photos

Flixter is a good one for movies

Or Discovr Movies - you enter a film you like, and it comes up with others that are connected in some way.

Vevo HD is good for music videos.

I posted these in another thread:

Off the top of my head...

Apps...

Various free apps: iPlayer, ITV Player, 4oD, Demand Five, TV Catchup, Netflix, Facebook, Twitter, BBC News, Sky News, Channel 4 News, Dropbox, Sky Go, Sky+, Skype...

Some paid ones: Pages, Keynote, Numbers, iMovie, Garageband, iPhoto, AirPlayer, AVPlayerHD, iCab Mobile...

Games: Jetpack Joyride, Temple Run, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, World of Goo, Infinity Blade 1 & 2, Sonic 4 Episode 1, GTA 3, GTA Chinatown Wars, Real Racing 2, Lost Winds, Galaxy on Fire 2...

Some of those games are universal apps, some are "HD" versions specifically for the iPad.


Just out this week - Brian Cox's Wonders of the Universe - its absolutely stunning.
Ah, yes, and this! I bought it last night. Looks great, has loads of info, and has videos from the series.
