Whether you're a long-time iPad
user or powering on your Apple tablet for the first time, there's one
thing you can use—app suggestions. The App Store boasts more than
275,000 dedicated iPad apps that run the gamut from the informative to
the business-centric. That's a lot of software. You can't install them
all—your iPad's storage will quickly fill—plus you don't want them all.
With that many apps available for download from the App Store, there are
sure to be quite a few stinkers in the bunch.
Facebook for iPad
Facebook took its sweet time bringing a dedicated iPad app to market, but in the year since its release, the app has blossomed into a full-featured service. It needs just a few more refinements to meet all iPad users' needs.
Hootsuite
HootSuite allow users to create numerous social network streams and view them in a clean, friendly interface, dispatching messages to multiple networks simultaneously.
Tweetbot
Featuring an excellent design and loads of customization options, Tweetbot is an iPad app that Twitter users should sample—but only if they use Twitter exclusively. If you want to integrate Twitter and Facebook, MyPad is the way to go, but if Twitter is your exclusive social network, Tweetbot is a superior selection.
Twitter for iPad
Once (or if) you become accustomed to. Twitter for iPad's cramped composition box design, you'll find it hard to go back to TweetDeck for iPad or any other iPad Twitter client. It's not perfect, but it simply feels right in both horizontal and vertical orientations. It's obvious that Twitter spent a good amount of time in creating this app, and it was well worth the lengthy wait.
TweetDeck for iPad
It may not support social networks such as Facebook or location-based services such as Foursquare, but TweetDeck for iPad is a respectable Twitter reader with an intuitive interface and accurate geo-tagging.
Yelp
Yelp's iOS app brings the Web site's reviews and recommendations to the iPad, but diehard Yelpers will miss a handful of features that didn't get ported to Apple's tablet.
Air Display 1.2 (for iPad)
A second monitor can be a boon to productivity, as you can keep Outlook, Twitter, or other potentially distracting work element on a second screen. That's where Avatron's Air Display comes in: It turns your iPad into a wireless second LCD monitor for your Mac or PC.
Bento
Bento is an extremely flexible organizational app that can get your business or your everyday life in order courtesy of 25 ready-to-use database templates.
Citrix Go To My PC
Citrix Go To My PC for iPad makes it simple to control your computer while away from your work area, but the lack of multitasking support, and latency issues, may dampen the experience.
Cubby (beta)
Even though Cubby is still in beta, we feel confident giving it a four-star rating. It offers both the flexibility of letting you designate any folder on your system for syncing, while eliminating confusion that approach introduces in other products. Its DirectSync capability sets it apart from most competitors, letting you sync unlimited data among your own computers.
