Hi everyone! The name's Valerie. I just got my iPad a few days ago and can't wait to browse the forum to figure out all the best apps!
Welcome! To helpyou get started, my favorite (most useful) apps are: - AirVideo for streaming every kind of video from your desktop to iPad. - GoodReader for storing stuff like with My Documents. Supports USB mode, tons of formats and the video out dingle thing - SketchBook Pro for drawing and scribbling - Pages for note taking and document creation.
Welcome to the forum! Are there any particular types of apps you are looking for. Work related? Hobby related?
Welcome Valerie. I'm pretty new here too, although I've had a 'pad from day one, and have blogged about it a lot. Night Stand HD for a beautiful clock. My Writing Nook for a good writing app (no formatting). Instapaper !! for getting web articles from your PC onto your iPad in very readable format.
