So my ipad arrived yesterday (yay!) and I've already added some apps like wikipanion, kindle, bbc player, and a ton of free games. And I'm curious what other apps people can recommend, particularly for say news or weather? I was trying to find a good one for papers and there was a recommendation the NYTimes which I ended up d/l for some bizarre reason, before concluding that a British-based one might be more useful for me :P And I've d/l flipboard, but I haven't tried it out much yet. It seems to be aimed more at facebook and twitter users from what I can tell
Is is massive fun to play around with, and I'm so not regretting buying it :D The only issue so far has been that I was up until the early hours last night playing solitaire on it :dork: I did take a look at angry birds because it's supposed to be really popular, but I was left utterly confused at what I was meant to be doing? It's probably really easy I'm sure, but the version I d/l didn't come with any instructions...
Oh and I like iBooks so much more on ipad! I originally d/l iBooks for my ipod and it was okay for actual books, but I found it impossible to read pdf files on there as the text was so small. And whenever I tried to adjust it, it became more of an issue turning the pages for some reason. I've never really got on with having an ipod-sized screen for internet and reading, although I know it works for a lot of people. The iPad is just the right size for me :D
