I have finally succumbed to the temptation and acquired a new iPad 2, 32 gig 3G version. There are so many applications for the device, although the SA app store is really lame. Within all of 3 hours I was ready to jailbreak my device, until I had a USA iTunes account set up and the world opened up. I hear that the Kenya app store (yes Kenya) has benefits. All of the apps (though not the music) is available and you can use your South African credit card. Another post on that soon.

In the meantime, please share details of your favourite applications. I am looking to put a post together so look forward to hearing from you to make that a more interesting post.

   I’ve been using the Kenyan store for a while now with no problems. As for the apps I don’t go berserk like the rest of the world it seems. I have a core set of apps that I use most along with a couple of games for time killing.

   Here’s my app list:

   Kindle – duh
   Instapaper – Use it in conjunction with the bookmarklet for saving big posts for later reading
   Wunderlist – TODO list which sync to phone + Macbook
   Evernote – Ditto
   Prompt – ssh client for remote access to servers
   Flipboard – awesome twitter / news reader. I hear good things about Zite
   Snapseed – nice little photo editing app
   Reeder – Awesome RSS reader with Gmail integration
   Keynote – Still testing this…seems to work
   Bamboo paper – quick sketching app
   Mindjet – mind mapping tool
   Elements – note writing app

   That’s about it…
