Apple Tablet


Recommended Posts

Congrats.

I'm currently using a work iPad instead of personal, so have cut down on app installs, but ones I use most often:

Reeder (RSS)

Instapaper (essential for long text - use with Longform.org)

Kindle

iA Writer (with RAM on 1G, need something to assemble clippings as Safari refreshs - many alternatives including nice Simplenote if you sync)

Google Mobile (Google Apps)

HootSuite (Twitter)

SkyFire Browser (Flash videos), CloudBrowse (Flash animation)

Netflix (justifies iPad cost alone if you watch in bed)

DropBox

ABC Player, PBS, Daily Show (video)

The Big Picture

Remote, Squeezepad (if you have a Squeezebox), WunderRadio, This American Life, WFMU, MOG (last three iPhone apps, but a must)

Hi Ric, I too recently acquired an use iPad 64Gb wi-fi plus 3G and would love to hear what your favorite apps are. Would you mind sharing them? Thanks.
Didn't we have a whole thread for apps? Or was it this thread? You may want to go through that.

Of course, that's assuming you want to hear recommendations from others than Ric.

Wait, you've compared, but 'never seen or used squeezepad'?

For what it's worth, I own both. Recommended the one I use 90% of the time. As Grahame mentioned you should really try both (if you don't mind spending the money).

And Dusty mentioned.

Oscium's iMSO-104 turns iPad, iPhone into mixed signal oscilloscopes

We've seen oscilloscopes repurposed as clocks and MAME machines, but we hardly ever see the pendulum swing in the opposite direction. The iMSO-104, however, actually turns your iPad, iPhone, or iPad touch into an oscilloscope display. Using a Cypress Semiconductor system on a chip, the iMSO-104 touts a 5MHz bandwidth and as much as 12 megasamples per second, and connects to your device by way of the dock connector -- according to its maker, it's also the world's smallest and most portable oscilloscope. That's all well and good, but what we really want to know is, does it support Tennis for Two? The iMSO-104 is now available for pre-order for $300, but if you're itching to see the thing in action, you can download the corresponding app today and give it a test drive. Full PR after the break.
