Most of these will be iPad apps.

I am way deep into N.O.V.A. HD right now.  Before that was Zombie Attack 2nd Wave.  I also like the new Disney Tron game -- it looks and plays well, even on the iPad.

I love Zinio and have several magazine subscriptions.  I've also got all 3 major ebook readers (iBooks, Kindle, and the B&N eReader), but iBooks is my go-to app.

iCabMobile is an awesome browser -- with it, I can download PDF's off the web and store them directly into iBooks for later reading.  No more going to iTunes and dragging/dropping on my Mac.

Flipboard is pretty cool, and I'm really happy to have Stumble Upon on the larger screen.

DocsToGo, Evernote, 1Password, iSSH, and EasyTask are my most-used utilities.

Scroll down just below the reCaptcha below, and you'll see "shortcuts" listed.

What, prey tell, is this "alt+s" or "alt+p"?  Is that what those of us who use real computers would call an Option key combination?    :o

Alt??  My cars back in the 70's had an Alt light on the dashboard...

No.  :-[

I recently got laid off, and while I look for a job, I've got to be careful with the savings I do have.  $10 a month is a bit steep right now, no matter how hard Ken Rocks.

For those interested, based on the video from the flyover, it looks like the farm is being built in the southwest quadrant of this interchange on 321, contrary to where Google's placed the pin.

Yes, I will most likely buy one.  When?  I really don't know, other than it probably won't be Day One.  And I'm currently not sure if I'll go wifi-only or +3G.  And to be honest, I don't know if I'll go 16, 32, or 64.

If I find an app that I absolutely must write, and it will lend itself to the iPad, that may hasten my decision.  And as a developer, I'm sure I'd want to restrict my target platform the most, by going with only 16 gig.

But for personal use, well I just bought a 64GB Touch in October.  If only I knew then what I know now -- I mean 6 days of battery life while playing music?  Really?  SIX DAYS? Wow...  Hmmm, I wonder if it's compatible with the dock connector on the head unit in my car!?!
