My 2p: 'Serious' ----------- Goodreader is essential
Dropbox is great (access is built into Goodreader as well) 1Password is extremely handy indeed DisplayPad - turn your iPad into a 2nd monitor. It works really well (as long as you're not streaming video). Smile inducing. :-) Reunion - if you're into family history and it's the perfect companion to the excellent and capable desktop version Wikipanion, Discover and Wikihood - all free and all excellent OmniFocus for iPad - expensive but excellent if OF and GTD are your thing Leisure and pleasure ----------------------------- Infinity Blade - the graphics are truly amazing, especially on the iPad 2 Shakespeare - How can having the complete works always at hand, including sonnets, for free not be totally amazing!? Guardian Eyewitness - amazing photos for free TuneIn Radio - a digital radio worth listening to in the kitchen BBC iPlayer - free. Does what you'd hope. Laser Lights - free and not a game as such but just a delight to play with - similar to uzu which costs but is more powerful though not quite so pretty, generally. Kaleidoscope - just a lot of fun Osmos - A really otherworldly and hypnotic set of challenges I have the Orange pay as you go 3G data package and pay about £2.50 per month. Just what I wanted. Make sure you pay by DD though as I was paying more in non-DD charges than I was for my data until I found out! I hope that gives you some pointers.

"Globalism is yesterday's tomorrow. The future is about living locally on a much smaller scale. ... China is not tomorrow's geopolitical colossus, it's a geopolitical super train wreck waiting to collide with the reality of its environmental devastation, population overshoot, and energy starvation. Americans will be lucky if they can do each other's laundry ten years from now, let alone sell massive amounts of soda pop to people twelve thousand miles away." - James Howard Kunstler -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
