You've seen the commercials; Apps are what makes an iPad
come to life. Here are the very best ones for work, play, creation,
consumption and everything in between.
Twitter:
The official Twitter app for iPad packs in the features, giving you a
full Tweet-and-browse experience. It can be a little bit overwhelming at
first, but powerful things often are. Free.
Friendly:
Friendly is the best unofficial Facebook app on the iPad because it
does everything you'd want the non-existant official Facebook app to do:
browse photos, make wall updates, check your profile, like and even
chat. Free or $1.
Flipboard:
A true testament to the iPad's transformative powers, Flipboard scrapes
your Twitter and Facebook feeds for links and arranges them in a
simple, beautiful magazine-style format. Free.
BeeJive IM for iPad:
If you're looking for one place to corral all your chats, BeeJive is
it. It's the best, best-looking IM client for the iPad, connecting to
AIM, GTalk, Facebook chat and a handful of others. $10.
Skype:
Skype. For iPad. Finaleffingly. It works over 3G or Wi-Fi and you can
talk to anyone using Skype, which is pretty much the de facto standard
for video chatting these days. There's also features for IM, emoticons
and support for both front and back cameras.
Instamap:
Instamap is an Instagram browsing app on your iPad that lets you check
up on your stream, see popular photos and even subscribe to particular
tags and locations. It's wonderfully designed and though you can't take
pictures, it's as good a way to peek at Instagram on your iPad.
