Oh man, I agree, those are the worst!

Aw, but Picasso and Degas famously said it's important for artists to paint like a child.

Adobe Ideas - my 2nd favorite, quite good

Simplenote/Plain text/Notekata - there are many paid text editors!

Team Viewer HD - why someone needs paid Logme in?

Terra web, atomic lite - why someone needs a paid browser (when you get Safari too for free)?

Springpad - works fine offline. But Evernote works only for premium customers!

Gotasks, wunderlist, Neatlist, Jotlist - works beautifully. Why one needs to pay for a todo list?? (Springpad and free outliners can also offer todo list) GoTasks/Jotlist offer nested lists as well. Jot list can even do a summation of amounts!

Idea Sketch - so cool for flowcharts.

Sundry notes - text, sketch/draw, record audio, multiple pages etc. Quite good for note taking

Flipboard, Zite, Pulse etc. - wonderful news/magazines. What paid ones do better?

Tune in radio - yes, they have a paid version too but free one is wonderful

I'm leaving games altogether because that's completely different segment.

Thanks mobi. I'm populating my new ipad and there's a few here I haven't heard about - very useful.

Flipboard was the first one I did. I love the format, still, and it's great for collating my favourrite artists blogs and reading them like a magazine but find it's not easy to find feeds. I hope they improve it some more and allow more than the current 21 feeds.

Would you pay for it if they made it better?

I mean, in traditional painting you might use a combination of brush, finger, blade, rag and whatever else. You're right, we're all different, otherwise it'd be boring.

yes, i own one
