What will I want installed on my new tool? I have been building a list of apps for a couple of months, and looking at it tells about my intended use for it.
First, Zen Brush, an app that seems completely worthless except to make me happy.
I own Quickoffice. Getting the iPad to work with Excel and PowerPoint is essential to classifying it as a toy or a tool. If the current project can be worked on a iPad, it is justified and certified for work.
News access apps are also in abundance on my list. Instapaper is first, but what RSS aggregator? Reeder? Flipboard? Zite? And which social media apps work best on the iPad? Load and see.
Then I have a bunch of writing, note taking apps with particular focus on those that integrate handwriting recognition. If I am to use the iPad for meetings and interviews that is a key function to explore.
I already have the Camera Connection Kit, so that and a thorough exploration of the Photo software native to iPad is warranted.
Loading the apps I use on my iPhone will be a process of triage: apps that work or don't; apps that make sense or don't; apps that I will use or not. For example, I may use a chat app, but prolly not a GPS Running app.
Then I begin exploring apps to take advantage of the unique tablet properties that I currently don't understand.
All I need are the essential games.
