. What are the best apps for the iPad? This article offers some suggestions.
There are hundreds of apps available for the iPad, many of which have been carried over from the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Here follows a brief description of 5 apps that look fantastic and are a great addition to the iPad.
If you enjoy comics, then the 'Marvel Comics' app is a beautiful comic book reader that gives access to a thrilling library of comics to read on your iPad. Marvel Comics include all the great superheroes such as Spiderman, Superman and Iron Man. The app is free but the comics need to be purchased.
Another great app for reading on your iPad is 'iBooks'. The app gives you access to the iBookstore, which is a great way to download and read the latest and greatest books on your iPad. The 'iBooks' app stores all your books on an attractive bookshelf. You can browse your books, tap on one to open it and swipe to turn the pages. You can even bookmark your favourite pages. The app is free.
Board games look and feel great on the iPad. The 'Scrabble' app is a great choice if your looking for a stunning game to play. You can play against the computer or friends. You can even sync your iPod Touch or iPhone to use as a tile rack. It's $10.
Another cool game for the iPad is the 'Flight Control' app. This game has proven to be very popular with the iPhone and this larger version fits very well on the iPad's bigger screen. The idea is to land your planes by directing them into the airport with your finger without them crashing. It's $5.
My last vote goes to iWorks. This is Apple's iPad productivity program. It has been specifically tailored to the iPad's strengths. There is a choice of Pages, Numbers and Keynote. Pages is Apple's word processor. They are $9.99 each.
I hope these 5 short reviews have given you an insight into just some of the great apps available.
