iPad so far

Really enjoying the iPad since buying it on launch day.  I have been trying to replace my laptop for travelling and I can manage absolutely fine without it so I have less to carry and more battery life!

The bits I have been using the most:

Apps
Reeder – great RSS reader, lovely interface and Google Reader support

Twitteriffic – best format for a Twitter client I have seen so far, the conversation scanning and quick picture view features are my favourite

Things – I haven’t been using this as much as I do on my laptop but it is still great to have. Hope they hurry up with cloud storage though.

InstaPaper – I send things from Reeder and other apps to InstaPaper to read later.  Great interface that is super simple to use and easy to read.

Kindle – better than iBooks in the way of reading although the buying process is a little fragmented. It is scarily easy to buy but it isn’t as slick.

1Password – I was converted to this app on Mac and it is worth it for iPad/iPhone support.  Means I can use nasty complex passwords!

Penultimate – fun to doodle around in this app.  Making crazy pictures of badgers etc.

TabToolkit – ability to download and play any GuitarPro tab file is fantastic – really good UI.

Games
Pinball HD –  good graphics and some nice tables.

FlightCtrl HD – the two player options make this worth a purchase

Godfinger –  crazily addictive if you let it get to you…..

Mail is fantastic – all I am really missing is a persistent IM application and I can do everything.  My only real problem with the device is the amount of money that can be spent on apps so quickly :P
