You’ve got the iPad, that’s the easy part. Now let’s put it in use. Here, in my opinion, are 25 of the most epic apps and utilities. (Sorry but the apps are not in order of the way I like them).
1) 1Password £2.39
Step forward and buy this surprisingly useful app where you can type a much longer password which can take many letters and numbers unlike the normal apple passcode where you can only type 4 numbers. Also if you forget you’re apple passcode, you may not access your iPad whereas 1Password will let you put a hint.Here is a link to where you can learn more if you are interested in this app: http://agilewebsolutions.com/onepassword
2) New Amazon Kindle FREE
Have you heard of the New Amazon Kindle? Well it’s a device which lets you read books for free! But to do that you have to pay an awful amount of money to actually buy it. Now you can experience the exact same thing on the iPad for free. It is an amazing app so I suggest you look at this website for more information: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html/ref=kcp_ipad_mkt_lnd?docId=1000423883
3) Angry Birds HD £2.99 (Lite Is FREE!)
Have you ever played one of those games where you just sit on the couch all day, level after level? Well if you have, this app is certainly just like that. It’s all about some birds who want to defeat this green guy for no random reason. If I were you I would install the Lite version as it is not that addictive and only contains 12 levels. If you want to get this app then you can check this website out: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds/id343200656?mt=84) BBC News FREE
Late for work maybe or have to go somewhere really quickly? Well this is the app for you (If you’re an adult!). With BBC News you can listen to the news in a car or whilst you’re running if you put your iPad in a bag. It’s simple. It’s quick. It’s FREE!
If your mum or dad is normally late for work, then download this app for them. Just click here for more info: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-10738882

7) Civilization Revolution for iPad £7.99

9) Labyrinth 2 HD £4.99 (Lite is FREE!)
Labyrinth 2 is a game based on a ball which goes through obstacles which may make the ball fall into a hole. A hole is exactly where not to fall.

20) Command and Conquer Red Alert £7.49
The perfect strategy game for the iPad. Good graphics and gameplay. You can build troops, buildings and you can also research technologies which will lead your men to the path of victory! It’s a battle that you can control! Personally I think that this game goes perfectly with iPad style, touch screen gaming. More into the game, you can play as 3 teams: Soviet, Allied and Rising Sun. However, there have been many problems and IGN have given it a tolerable 6.5! Hmm… Check it out: http://uk.wireless.ign.com/articles/108/1081716p1.html
