Newbie needs guidance on apps and a stylus

Hello, I am so excited to get my IPAD tomorrow. Unfortunately I will be getting the 1st generation. Money doesnt allow yet for a new version, and I have been on a payment plan with a friend. HOPE it works all fine!!! I have a few questions, can anyone tell me which apps to get if you had 50.00 to spend right away on them. And, which stylus is best for sketching and illustration. I draw fashion and have been doing searches, but all the reviews-I am not sure which to trust. Thanks so much and glad to be here... Ray

 

App recommendations:
GoodReader (PDF reader)
Photobucket (for loading/manipulating images)
Zite (Social Magazine contoured to your reading habits)
Angry Birds (one of the very most addictive games ever created)
Aweditorium (new music locator)
Shazam (finds the name of songs played on TV or the radio)
ScoreCenterXL (sports)
TWCable TV (if a Time Warner subscriber you can watch TV from your iPad)
Atomic Web (internet browser)

As for a stylus. Try the Nomad brush instead:
Nomad Brush - Home
