SkyNew
This is the one that app pundits are calling ‘The Big Yin’. Launched with many a self-congratulatory hurrah, Sky News’ app involves a team of millions, a pot of cash and some of the slickest feed-swapping we’ve ever seen.
Garageband
One of the flagship apps for the launch of iPad 2, GarageBand is a must-have for musos with its multi-track recording. It’s also a tonic for the congenitally tone deaf, thanks to its ineptitude-reducing Smart Instruments.
CameraBag For iPad
Previously a brilliant-screened but blind tablet, the iPad has now been given eyes. Apps such as Camera Bag make the most of the weedy resolution, letting you muck around with your photos in a big-screen optimized way.
WebEx
Who’d have thought something as simple as adding a camera to the iPad would actually mean you end up doing more work? Now, instead of waiting to get back to the office, you can host video conference calls on your tablet.
PocketBooth HD
Why is it that retro machinery looks so good on the iPad? Perhaps it’s the anachronism. Whatever, this vintage photo booth app would remind us of cramming into real booths with beautiful girls, if we ever had.
Superbrothers:
Ah, apps like this make us happy to be geeks, Retrospective, yet beautifully designed, this pixel! a ted point ‘n’ click adventure will make you smile all day long. Check its iTunes ratings for proof,
Twittelator
Developing Twitter clients is a fly-by-night business, and you need Lo move fast. These guys have, quickly incorporating the iPad 2′s camera API into their retro-styled, stationery-based Twitter app. Twapp. Whatever.
Dead Space HD
Great. We were embarrassed enough jumping and gibbering at the creepy Dead Spoce games franchise in the relative seclusion of our own homes. Now fellow commuters get to see our fear faces, too.
You Gotta See This!
This compiles multiple images from the iPad 2′s camera into a collage, using the gyroscope to keep the images in sync. Clever and impressive: search Twitter for the hashtag #SeeThis for a look at others’ creations,
dJay
Nearly one of those apps you only actually see people using in iPad adverts, this iPod-accessing, AirPlay-using DJ app is in actual fact so captivating you’ll find that not only have you missed your stop, you’re in the bus garage.
