Best apps and games for iPad?

[Belmondo]

I just bought Apple's iPad 3 and I love my new toy but I still know very little about these devices.

I've alread installed a SIM card and the internet is working fine.

So, what apps and games do you recommend?

I would also like to show the iPad to my students (ages 16 - 19). Any tips for my presentation?

Show them Angry Birds :whistle:

I'd probably show one of those applications that makes full use of the hardware, ie accelerometer, location, screen resolution, etc.

Try to convince them that it's a very useful educational tool. Ie, you can talk about how it's used in education, eg lots of universities offer the course material as apps.

Notice and Dropbox are some of the most usefull apps I have ever used.

And GPS Drive!

Thanks for the tips, guys!

And yes, Angry Birds is definitely on the list (I have to show them games, these kids are really difficult and their attention span = 0) but I want to show them something more sophisticated, as well.

Brilliant tip, thank you! I've been looking for a GPS device for ages, the iPad may well be the perfect solution.
