Xcom,and anyone of a number of map applications. Favourite being the UK O/S 1:50,000 maps app. Also if your into flightsimage then you now have a touch screen panel with endless uses !

Pocket Informant - much better than Calendar IMHO Weather Channel Dropbox Calculator - amazing that iPad doesn't come with one standard! Yelp Netflix Fandango YouTube Xcom Pacific Fleet ESPN ScoreCenter Chrome Nook/Kindle (or both) Pocket - great for saving articles to read later iControl DCS - touchscreen Warthog cockpit
Those are some of mine that get used a bit

Yeah, Angry Birds is neat for a quick little downtime game. I like Sudoku HD too, it's a great Sudoku game if you are into that.

This iPad is evil and addictive.
As y'all can see, I haven't been here much the past 3 days.
I also haven't fired up my PC and Laptop for the past 3 days.

IMHO the best planetarium app right now is Sky Safari 4 Pro which is on sale for $20 right now. You probably don't need the pro version for casual use though.. http://www.southernstars.com/products/skysafari/
