I Love the iPad!

Needed Apps:

If you are one of the very lucky people who have an iPad be sure to add the app Find My Phone.  This free app works on your iPad.  Also, if you add iCloud, find my iPhone is one of the choices in the settings area. 

iBooks is a great app for finding digital books.

GoodReader is a terrific app!  I find this app  very valuable for reading PDF documents.  You can even highlight parts of the PDF and make notes on the document.

Words With Friends - nuff said.

If you like flipping through catalogues like I do, then the catalogue 2.0 is for you!  It updates the catalogues frequently and  many of the catalogues that are displayed are for high end stores.
