Some iPad apps I like
For connecting to my home Mac, I use Desktop Connect outside the house, because it’s got ssh proxy support. iTap VNC is a nicer client, and I use that while I’m in the house. iSSH is a decent ssh client, and is supposed to have VNC support but I’ve never been able to get it working.
Netflix - stream videos and manage your queue
AirVideo - install a server on your Mac and stream video over wifi to your ipad.
TouchPad - remote control for your macs, works via screen sharing so you don’t have to install extra software.
Scrabble (and free tile board app for iPhone)
Dropbox - access your dropbox account
ReaddleDocs - PDF and doc reader.
AirSharing - General file sharing and document printing support. Has some document reading capability but ReaddleDocs is nicer.
Amazon, Ebay - shopping
SkyGrid - top news
Solitaire City - the nicest solitaire implementation I’ve found, if that’s your thing
Twitteriffic - Twitter
Instapaper - offline reading
Game Table and Board Box are both nice general board game implementations with some minor differences. They are boards only - no AI.
Soulver - scratch sheet calculator, I also like the Mac and iphone versions
1Password Pro - syncs with your 1Password for Mac
Weather HD is a nice weather app, though the Accuweather and Weather Channel ones have more features
iSignsHD is fun for displaying full screen symbols
