Top 10 Must Have iPad Apps

So, you just bought an iPad 2 huh? Well – that’s cool. I’m not at all jealous with my first generation model. Nope, not at all.

I’m going to assume that you have the essentials (Twitter and any other social networking apps that you need), so these are just the others I really enjoy.
