1. Air Display – turns your iPad into a secondary monitor.
2. Angry Birds – a fun game, great way to pass time. The other Angry Birds games are also recommended.
3. Calorie Tracker (LiveStrong.com) – tracks calories. I also like FitDay.com (just a web site but excellent and free!)
4. Dragon Dictation – it does a good job, although I don’t use it often. There is a service called Jott that I like much better, but it is now a paid service.
5. DropBox – great for sharing files between computers and people.
6. Evernote – note taking application; notes are shared shared between computers.
7. Find My iPhone – Apple provides a free MobileMe account to find your iDevice – it works, too!
8. Friendly Plus for Facebook – an easy to use Facebook interface.
9. GarageBand – to get your creative juices flowing.
10. GoodReader – a very good PDF reader.
11. Glympse – allows friends/SO to track your whereabouts on a map for a brief period of time (if you have the GPS version). Probably better on the iPhone, but still deserves to be on this list.
12. Google Search – better on the iPhone but features voice-based search and other niceties.
13. Instapaper – mark items to read later and then can read them here. Kind of like a scrapbook.
14. iSSH – my preferred method of command line access to Internet-connected machines.
15. iTap RDP – RDP connectivity to a Windows PC (Remote Desktop).
16. iThoughtsHD – my personal favorite mind-mapping tool on the iPad.

19. A Monster Ate My Homework – fun, and free, game.
20. NASA App HD – interesting content from NASA.
21. Netflix – a must if you subscribe to the service.
22. NewsRack – my favorite RSS news reader. Simple and clean and easy and fast!
23. Pandora – this is so good I am considering signing up for a paid account.
24. Parallels Mobile – if you run Parallels on a Mac, this gives you access to the virtual machines.
25. Scrabble HD – if you are a scrabble fan than this is a must.
26. Star Walk for iPad – lights up the night sky and provides useful content.
27. Tap Tap Radiation – another fun game.
28. TweetDesk for iPad – very good Twitter application – I prefer it for creating content for multiple systems (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.).

31. VNC Viewer – I use this to access my VNC-enabled computers.

36. Zillow Real Estate – satisfies my real estate curiosities.
37. Zite – news “magazine” started with information from your Twitter and/or RSS feeds.
