The iPad’s here, what to do now
I didn’t post yesterday simply because there were already 10,000 post and reviews of the iPad. I’m also on of those who pre-order the iPad 3G so doing a launch day review wasn’t an option. Today I’d like to focus on what to do now that you’ve got you iPad.
If your like me, you probably did a pre-launch day search in iTunes to find all the great apps just laying around waiting for a device to run on. I picked up a few myself. Here’s what my list looks like.
- Netflix (Got to have my streaming video)
- Pages (Maybe we can do something productive on the iPad after all)
- Dictionary.com (Ok I can’t spell)
- ABC Player (Has CBS and Hulu released and app yet?)
- WinAdmin (Maybe work will pay for this one… I “really need it” to mange our network servers.
- LogMein Ignition (Got to keep those servers working when while I’m on the beach)
- The Wall Street Journal (Isn’t the iPad suppose to save the print media?)
- PCalc FREE (Hey, Apple didn’t give us one)
- Banner for iPad (I’ve always wanted to tell the guy behind me just what I think about him following me so close)
- WordPress (I’m planning updates while at the Lake this summer)
- Break FREE HD (Time for a little brainless fun)
- Bible HD (Keep up with the preacher on Sunday)
- Night Stand HD (Heading to Vegas next week, I’ll need a good alarm clock)
After looking around for a while, there still seems to be some holes in the iPad specific offerings, but I’m sure our developer friends are hard at work and will release thousands more apps soon. There were also some absent friends (like Facebook) that I believe may be less significant now that we have a device with a large amount of screen real estate. We’ll probably see some of these, but I was more important on the smaller iPhone/iPod Touch.
Have you got your iPad yet? What apps were a must for you? What’s missing.
