I have been using my iPAD for a few weeks now and in my view the best APPS are:
1. Zinio (get magazines)
2. Pressreader (get newspapers, local included)
3. Flipboard (awesome! get all sorts of information)
4. News24
5. CNN
6. Angry Birds (got via US account)
7. NAV Free
8. Quickoffice
9. Cinex player (pitty it can't play .mkv files) Anyone knows how?
10. Dropbox (will be replaced by iClouid when iOS5 launches)
11. Find iPhone...(he he, my wife can no longer hide)
12. RWC 2011
Any other great apps I am missing?

Not sure whats its called exactly, but on the iPad i gave my wife, she downloaded an app on the star constellations...its awesome.
Out of the night that covers me,Black as the pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance.My head is bloody, but unbowed.Beyond this place of wrath and tearsLooms but the Horror of the shade,And yet the menace of the years,Finds and shall find me unafraid.It matters not how strait the gate,How charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate:I am the captain of my soul.

Probably Skyview...haven't tried it on my iPAD yet, only on iPhone. Gives you all the star constellations/planets/satellite positions etc. Pretty Cool and it is rather accurate.
I see no reason to jailbreak iPAD. For a few additional apps?

After my dissapointment with the IPod I swore I'll never buy another Apple product. But now thanks to the missus I'm the proud owner of the IPad 2. And I'm loving this baby.both of them.
What good apps have you got loaded?

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who errs, who comes short again and again, who knows great enthusiasms; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Do yourself a favour and get Zinio. It allows you to subscribe to digital magazines from all over the world, and is better than having a print copy (you get it delivered within a day of international release, hyperlinks are clickable etc.). I subscribe to ProCycling, MBUK etc. Best iPad app there is!
There are also a few SA mags available (Runners World, Ride, Men's Health etc) and not having old magazines lying around the house keeps wifey happy.
