What apps to get first?

I just ordered a Ipad 4 and have no idea what im getting into. The wife said get us one so I did. What 5 free or paid apps would you go ahead and put on it for christmas. Its for my wife and 6 year old girl. Thanks Derrick

I guess I should add that my wife is into pictures, video, and cooking. And I would like maybe a couple games and several learning apps for my daughter.

Depends on the type of content you're interested in.

For news content, I would go with an rss/news reader and a web browser that has more features.
I like Flipboard, Newsify, andAtomic browser.

For media content, I would go with music and video apps.
I like iTunes, Hulu+, Netflix, and YouTube.

For graphics content, I would go with some advanced image editing apps.
I like Adobe Photoshop Touch.

For reading books, I would go with ebook apps.
I like Kindle, iBooks, and Adobe Reader.

For office work, I would go with a word processor, a presentation app, and a spreadsheet app.
I like the iWork apps (Keynote, Pages, Numbers).

For social connections, I would go with messaging/forum apps.
I like ebuddy pro, Twitter, Facebook, Meetup, and Tapatalk.

You might also think about file storage for things not covered by iCloud. I like Dropbox for this.

Or, you could go with all of the above. I have them all and I feel this is a near-replacement for a desktop computer.

There are many apps that encompass all of those areas. I think you're going to need another iPad ;)

Keep in mind that it may be possible for your daughter to make accidental purchases on the iPad, so you'll need to research the restrictions settings, go to Settings > Restrictions.

iPhones and iPads are single-user devices. However, the restrictions settings will allow you to passcode protect your choice of apps, content, privacy, purchases, changes, etc. here's a screenshot that may help you understand more (there are more options that didn't fit into the screenshot):

Well crap. I guess thats ok. Thanks for the ss. I noticed on another thread that the reason for apps is so spam cant get into the directory. Is that right? So I do or do not need to add my norton to this?

All the above suggestions are great but the one I would add for your wife, and indirectly for you is BigOven, a free recipe app.
