Default Ipad

Got an iPad for Xmas. I'm posting on it right now actually. Just wanting to know what apps you guys are using and what apps are garbage. And I'm thinking I will need a case for it, I'm pretty hard on my electronics so I need a good one.

well see how it goes over, but she loves to read (and theres an app for books like a kindle)
loves facebook, and doesnt have a laptop or a smart phone.

so i covered all the bases with this one thing.

hope its all theyre cracked up to be!

They are just fun to **** with. Plus it was free. So no complaints here. Also I have a decent laptop that I have an international air card for.

So yeah back to the original question. Good apps? Good case?

I'm actually also posting from one right now. They are pretty cool but I just can't justify getting one because I already have an iPhone. There are so many apps and such so just go on the AppStore and look at the top rated free stuff.

Look into Incase, Booq, and Seidio for cases/portfolios.

I was going to get one, but it's too late in the year now, might as well wait for the next generation Ipad. Ipad 2 is supposed to be coming out Q1 2011.

I have an iPad and its bad ***. The screen resolution is awesome. I got it a few months ago and have no complaints. Def get a case for it and be prepared to clean the screen often. LS1tech time is awesome on an iPad.

The Otterbox is hard to beat. I have had one on my Iphone for over a year. Would definately get one for the Ipad as well if I had one.

i would preferably want one that protects the screen as well. as this will be packed with the rest of my gear.
