5 Must-have Apps for Your New iPad
Now you have a new iPad 2 and curious which are the best, most must-have apps and games you need to install first? Well read on for the top 5 most recommended, most must-have iPad 2 apps to get you started.
iMovie App for iPad 2
When Apple debuted the iPad 2 they wanted to raise the bar when it came to iPad 2 software as well, and iMovie was their first salvo. Pull in video and photos via the decidedly tepid built-in cameras, from the Camera Roll, or from your iPhone, point-and-shoot, vidcam, or DSLR via SD or USB and the Camera Connection Kit and you’re on your way. You can mould your video as if you’re working with digital clay. Clip and transition and modify the audio and title — all in multitouch. [$4.99 - iTunes link]
Real Racing 2 HD Game for iPad 2
Always on the cutting edge of Apple’s latest hardware, the ADA award-winning team at Firemint wasted no time in releasing an iPad 2 optimized version of their flagship driving game. Gyroscope makes it steer better and the new PowerVR SGX 543 graphics chip in iPad 2 lets them turn the textures to overdrive. [$9.99 - iTunes link]
GarageBand App for iPad 2
Apple’s second iPad 2 salvo is also arguably one of the best mobile apps ever made. While it also works on the original iPad it’s even better on iPad 2. Strings, keyboards, and percussion from classic to electric are available both for you to play and in “smart” varieties to play along. You can also plug in your own instruments and record your own vocals and you’ve got 8 full tracks to mix it all down with. Even if you’re not musically inclined, GarageBand will wow you. [$4.99 - iTunes link]

These are pretty sweet. I do a lot of travelling by car and one app I’ve been using a ton is the TV Everywhere app from DISH Network. As a DISH employee/customer I’ve been using it since it came out, but even more so when I travel. Basically, it allows me to bring my TV with me anywhere I can get a 3G connection. I can watch live TV on my phone, tablet or laptop as it’s broadcast to my receiver…something U-Verse doesn’t allow. I can also watch all my recorded programs off my DVR, and when you’re riding shotgun, have the kids in the back, or just want to relax in the hotel at the end of the day, this is perfect.
