The Best iPad Apps: 10 Essential Apps For The New iPad You Got For The Holidays

Did you just get a new iPad for the holidays? Survey says that if you're an average American, you probably really wanted one! (Unless, that is, you're waiting for the mythical iPad 3). Anyway, once you've taken your new iPad out of that box, you're going to want to load it up with apps from the App Store; here are the first ten iPad apps that we would get, if we'd been gifted a new iPad this December.

I'd like to recommend NotesDeck for notes!!! I use it so my school notes show up on all my devices instantaneously (iPad, Mac and iPhone).

1.) NotesDeck syncs with Evernote, Simplenote and Dropbox so all my notes from other apps are already in it.

2.) On Mac you can set hot keys for different folders and jump right into full screen notes. Kind of nerdy - I know. On iPad it opens to a new note automatically so you can get your thought down.

3.) So much cleaner than that yellow Notes app. Much more professional. But just as simple!

Be sure to read the series of articles that the NY Times is doing on working conditions in the factories that manufacture these things.

I whole-heartedly concur with them on the Kindle App being much better and more usable than iBooks with the exception being PURCHASING them. Apple does not allow in-app purchase from Kindle so you have to go to the Kindle/Amazon site and download rather than just clicking on it from the Kindle app. Kind of a pain, but still worth it to have the higher quality experience when reading the book and navigating the settings.

Ironic that iPad hp app users can't see any slide shows.

You know, every sideshow I've tried to open om HuffPo the past few days takes me to the same five pictures of younger people dressed up for some kind of self-congratulatory event. Fix the links!!

The one app I have on my IPad that doesn't work well is the HP app.

Fix your huffington post app! I want to see the slide shows (all of them...any of them!), not photos of Entourage!

Entourage is not an app - Should be embarrassed your own app doesn't even show your content.
