Have an iPad coming and need to fill it up? The indefatigable John Herrman at Gizmodo has selected the apps to download first. We're re-printing his picks here. And what's that, Popular Science+? Nice. --Ed.
The iPad App Store is open! Here are the best of the apps so far—the ones you'll actually want when you finally get your iPad.
Launch the gallery by clicking the thumbnails.
This guide will be updated this weekend, since apps are stilling flowing in by the hundred. You might notice a few things about these apps: A lot of them are iPhone carryovers, and a lot of them cost more than you might be used to in the App Store economy. Both are valid observations! But for a first batch, these apps do look rather spectacular.
Also, check out our Essential iPhone Apps Directory.

but where is the flash player?
"but where is the flash player?"
Streaking college campuses maybe? (just to keep alive the general idiocy of this thread so far).
E misto! Cand se mai ieftineste imi cumpar si eu unul.
Why would the apps cost more ? Because they're on a bigger screen ? That is so hurting . I hate Apple , just the new lenovo
I meant to say just buy the new lenovo thinkpad touchscreen and flips to tablet mode
"since apps are stilling flowing in by the hundred"
stilling flowing?
Bad grammar aside, I want one of these iPads. I'll wait for the big bugs to come out and the price to go down though.
I will buy the iPad. It is a revolutionary device. All devices and computers will try to mimic the iPad. But since Apple has got here first they will always be a step ahead of the competition.
Do not forget to put Rhapsody as one of the essential apps.
