andy Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I have a Droid, will be upgrading to an iPhone when they come to Verizon. I like Android as an OS, but IMO the overall user experience and apps are FAR superior on iOS. I got an iPad for Christmas too :-) What are your favorite apps so far?

I got a note taking app, pages and Netflix. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 What case did you get Andy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I haven't chosen a case yet. I can't decide between the DodoCase, the inCase Convertible Magazine and the inCase Convertible Book. As far as apps go, here are my favorites so far: APPS: Dropbox - Cloud-based file storage; has Windows, Mac, Android and iOS clients. THE best way to get files in/out the iPad Kindle - Amazon's eBook reader software. Syncs across platforms (Mac, Win, iOS, Android) GoodReader - Document reader. Has built-in Dropbox support Evernote - Cloud-based document manager. Great for notes, scans, photos, etc. Syncs across platforms (Mac, Win, iOS, Android) 1Password - Password-manager. Has built-in Dropbox support and Windows, Mac, iOS, Android clients Friendly - A nice Facebook client Reeder - RSS reader that syncs with Google Reader Twitter - Twitter client Wikipanion - A nice Wikipedia client Pandora - Streaming music Netflix - Movie-watching client, only useful if you have Netflix (or are willing to get it) Adobe Ideas - Nice little sketching app Instapaper - Web-page read-it-later tool GAMES: Angry Birds Cut the Rope Plants vs. Zombies Fruit Ninja Carcasonne Things I haven't checked out yet, but will soon: Infinity Blade - RPG Rage HD - shooter on rails game iThoughts HD - mind-mapping app Papa Sangre - no-video video game Elements - Dropbox-based text editor Pages - word processor Keynote - presentation app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 That Dodo case is super cool!!! My wife just found me an otter box defender on Amazon prime for $50 (they are normally $90). Hmmmm... I am trying to provide a link, but I can't quite figure it out LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 The Otterbox Defender looks really cool, but maybe a bit too thick for what I want. I think I'll probably end up with the DodoCase... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I went with the InCase Black I think it might be the Convertible Book. What ever it iis I like it alot. The Ipad is sweet I love this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.R Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 JR' date=' I know speaking for myself, we have a droid, but I wish we had an I-phone, being as how we're planning on picking up gaming, specifically WoW again, and the apps blizzard has released allowing you to play around on the auction house an what not are only for the I-phone.[/quote'] Thanks for the opinion! yeah pretty much everyone I ask around work tell to go with the iPhone.

It is a little thick, If I didn't have a four year old and a two year old I would be all over the Dodo, but I think I need the extra protection LOL. If the Dodo does not come with a screen protector, I would buy one for it I put mine on and you can't even see it (clap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I picked up the inCase Magazine Convertible today at Best Buy -- I like it, it seems like a good compromise between protection and portability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackaninny Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 http://www.marware.com/products/iPad/Eco-Vue-for-iPad Been using this one since the first day - pretty nice - decent protection - built in stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRENT Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I also have an Ipad, I love the thing. Was wondering what is your best SW app you have found if any? Have you seen the Coral Mag one? Also do you run the PNWMAS app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at this messenger bag they make. But it is a "little" spendy LOL. http://www.goincase.com/products/detail/skate-messenger-bag-cl55038/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen the Coral Mag one? Also do you run the PNWMAS app?[/quote'] I guess my favorite app is probably Reeder, followed closely by Instapaper... Though the Kindle app and GoodReader are also really good. Plants vs Zombie is fun, but I think Angry Birds is a better game. I haven't seen the Coral mag app, I'll have to check it out. I've just been reading the Pnwmas forums in Safari. Forum Runner looks ok, but Safari works fine for me. I just put a shortcut directly to the forum on the iPad home screen.

dee77 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 have u gotten used to it im getting one this weekend!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 have u gotten used to it im getting one this weekend!!!!! It has some limitations, a lot of them you can use apps to get around. All in all I love this thing and I have barely taped it's potential. As long as you still have access to a computer you will be really happy with it. Make sure to get a case and screen protector.

I type all my papers on it, just the other day I typed a ten page paper for my art history class. They do make a keyboard for it too.
