New iPad User!!!

[dustrho]

Been an Android guy for over three years, still have my T-Mobile G2 running a rooted ROM, but just got my first iPad (the newest one that was just released). I've played with friends' iPhones and iPads before, but now that I have one I need to figure out what I want on it and to do with it. What are some must-have apps?

Glad to be here, and will be checking out the site shortly. Oh yeah, and I already installed this forum's app on my new iPad. Word!

Everyone has their own favorites so I would advise grabbing appshopper from the app store and use the many filters to locate best of breed apps.


Flipboard is always a great starter app. I have over one hundred twenty installed and I love them all. I've deleted dozens over time because I burned through the game or found them to be not as useful as I had g

Welcome, if you had some favorite apps on droid they will more than likely be available on IOS as well. Hope you enjoy.
