7 Intriguing iPad Apps

The Easter Bunny is coming early this year. On Saturday, 3 April, there’s going to be quite a few future iPad owners with a smile on their face. For those that pre-ordered the first batch, Saturday is the day. While some have written the iPad off as a big iPod Touch, I see the iPad bringing more to the table. Besides, what’s wrong with a big iPod Touch anyways?

Through the guided tours, we’ve seen demonstrations of Safari, Mail, iBooks, Photos, Pages, Keynotes and more.

We also know that over 150,000 iTunes Applications will be compatible with the iPad. What about native apps?

Thanks to AppAdvice.com, we can take a peak at over 100 native apps available soon for the iPad. From the list, I chose a few I’m personally looking forward to.
