What are your favorite iPad apps?

[momw/2princesses]

My iPad is ordered and will be here in about 2 weeks. So, I need some app recommendations!! I have a blackberry instead of an iphone, so I'm not familiar with any apps at all. Travel, entertainment, kids - what are your favs?

Thanks!!

Police scanner app. Listen to your local police and fire departments and highway patrol.

Here's a second vote for Angry Birds. And Plants vs. Zombies. We love those games at our house. Even our 20-month-old plays Angry Birds.

Oooo, I forgot Plants vs. Zombies - one of my favorite addictive games!

Personnally, I don't get the appeal of Angry Birds. JMHO

 

[momw/2princesses]

I'm making my list! Thanks for the suggestions. I can't wait to try out my new toy. Guess I'll have to hide it from the kids when it comes so I'll have a chance to use it!!

Now, if only I could get all my magazines on it and not have stacks to carry on vacation - that would be great. Hopefully more magazine will be available soon!

Thanks!

Oh, i want that one! What's it called?

Don't have the official name, I don't have an i-Phone but several of my co-workers ( I work in a TV newsroom) that do have i-phones have it. I think if you search police scanners, you'll find it.
