AppZone iPad Special: Our First Pick of Apps

The iPad would be nothing without the App Store. Apple's tablet may be sleek and stylish, but the real key to its success has got to be the world of possibilities opened up by the thousands of applications you can load it with. So just over a week after the iPad's UK release, we take a look at some of the best iPad applications currently out there.

We've been using the iPad for a month now, and during that time we've tested all kinds of different applications. Although the choice of apps is increasing day by day, we've picked out a few favourites from those currently available. Some of these we've chosen because they're genuinely useful, whereas others we tested simply to see if they lived up to expectations, like certain much-hyped newspaper and magazine apps and Apple's iBooks.
