Default Ipad2 questions

Ok, I need help. I just got an ipad2 yesterday. I think I might like it, but I don't love it. What are your favorite apps, and how do you use yours? Please help, I want to love it. It is my first Mac.

Thanks,
Diane

i play games on my ipod touch. texttwist, swipefour, boggle and backgammon are some of my favorites. loads of people like words with friends.

i have the facebook app and if i had the ipad i'd definitely get the kindle app and the nook app. there are lots of free books available and even some through your local library that you can use on the nook app.

i'd also probably look into magazines too!

Angry Birds & Fruit Ninja are our favorites. I also like browsing Facebook and using iBooks.

Thank you, thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded boggle, set up facebook (although I really don't use it too much), downloaded some of my books from my nook, etc.

And I found the coolest app ever, at least I think so: flipboard, which puts all of your favorite sites, tweets, etc. in one convenient magazine. Now I am trying to remember some of my favorite websites since my computer had to have a new hard drive last week. What are your favorite blogs, websites, etc.

I would love to add games to my ipad, but I become addicted to them too easily, so I will leave those to my fourteen and his ipad.

I have another question, how do you set up the tv/ video on your ipad? Are there certain channels or apps that you use, etc. I know this has to be easy but I just don't get it.

Thanks again for the replies.

Oh, and another stupid question. How do you load layouts, photos, etc. from your PC to the ipad? I really wish it had come with directions then I wouldn't be so lost!!

Thanks again.
