A friend of mine just received an iPad as a gift. What are your favorite must have apps for someone new to the Apple platform? He doesn't have an iPod or iPhone, so this experience is completely new for him.
Some good apps I feel that I can't live without:
- Simplenote
- GoodReader (awesome file manager)
- IM+
- Twitter (though I don't think he tweets, but I probably use this app more than any other, sadly).
