I blogged once before about some of my favorite apps on the iPad, but it's time for a reassessment of what I play with most often:
Kindle - love it. I read at lunch most days. I try to find a big book so it lasts a while. So far I've read A Short History of Nearly Everything, The Gone-Away World, and I'm finishing up Pandemonium.
Zite - I like the news feeds, particularly the programming feed which prevents me from having to pull together my own set of feeds.
Pulse - good for reading the Daily Afternoon Randomness on The Chive.
Facebook - I do most of my Facebooking from the iPad.
Ping.fm/Twitter - I do most of my Twittering from the iPad.
Exoplanet - because you never know when a new planet might show up that you want to emigrate to.
Dropbox - file sharing between all my machines. I use it obsessively.
Netflix - for obvious reasons.
Words with Friends - sometimes I have up to half a dozen games going. 95% of the people on Words with Friends suck. Kyle is good. I've met a few people who are challenging.
NS Hex - took me quite a while to figure out this challenging game.
Small World - don't play it as much as I used to, but a solid board game.
Wesnoth - if you like Might and Magic style games, this is pretty much the only one.
Carcassone - good rendition of the board game.
The Game of Life - better than the board game.
Tichu - cards games have better longevity than most games on an iPad.
Kingdoms - my latest obsession. Incredibly difficult for a game that takes a few minutes to play.
Shredder and iChess Pro - pretty much equivalent for Chess purposes. I usually lose.
Toontastic - for Eryn. Teaches story making/structure while allowing her to create her own cartoons.
Food Apps - I like Epicurious (after it got rid of some of its bugs), AllRecipies (not as much depth, but very easy to use), BigOven (GREAT recipies), and Whole Foods. Pooteewheet can attest I make a wider variety of food owning these apps.
Calorie Counter - down 32 pounds and counting.
Pandora/iPod - music
Star Walk - pretty, and always fun to come back to. Coupled with the NASA app, these are a nice set.
