Recently I bought an iPad, the cheap version with 16GB Wi-Fi only. I was extremely lucky to have a friend going to the US so I got a “discount” of about 100Euros (Smart cover included). Awesome.
One of the first things I did was of course to search for cool apps. I had a list in mind but I soon realized that not all the iPhone apps were optimized for the big screen so I had to look around for the best apps for iPad. It was not a easy job because of the huge number of apps available.
Also, the annoying part is that I was seeing the local version of the app store, so the apps shown here were not the cool ones you read on TC and Mashable.
After a few weeks of using it I can share with your my list of top apps for iPad, the applications I use most often. The list below has only free iPad apps, but I promise to come back with a list of the best paid iPad apps… soon
