You just got the latest iPad. Now what?

You got the the latest and greatest iPad.

If you are a Part 91 driver, what are your "must have" apps to put on? If you are Part 121 or 135, what apps is your company putting on yours and if you had the chance, what would you put on it?

Aeroweather and a ton of time wasting games (Flight Control, Monopoly, Unblock Me, Angry Birds, etc.).

I have the Continental app on my phone for deadheads and non-revs.

ForeFlight is a popular one with the GA crowd, I don't use it flying my plane (prefer Jepps), but I have a friend who swears by it.

Actually posting on my iPad from one of our crew rooms.

Good Reader for manuals and other docs.

Jepp FD doesn't yet work with iOS5.

Free e-reader apps

I recommend either one of these free apps. No need to buy a Nook or Kindle if you have an iPad.

Free NOOK app for iPad, Download eReader app - Barnes*&*Noble

Amazon.com: Kindle for iPad - Read Kindle eBooks on your iPad

the i41CX application for iPad so that you can leave your beloved HP-41CX calculator at home where it belongs, and still have RPN on the road.

What do you think is the minimum memory that you need for aviation applications?

Wait for the upcoming HumancentiPad so you can share all your "data".

You could get the small one...even ForeFlight isn't a huge application.

I went for the 64 gig and never looked back, even with movies, music, lots of games, all my manuals and several books, it's well less than half full.
