invisibleSHIELD case for iPad“The iPad is less than three months old, and already programmers have whipped up 9,000 apps for the fancy tablet. But, just as with the iPhone, there’s a problem: It’s hard to navigate the App Store for quality wares because it’s just too crowded,” Brian X. Chen reports for Wired. “Right before the iPad launched and after it came out, we rounded up some apps we found intriguing.”

After diving into this media-savvy device, we’ve added a few more apps we consider to be gems:

• Reeder
• Craigslist Pro
• Etude
• BeeJiveIM
• Comic Zeal Comic Reader
• iCab Mobile
• LogMeIn Ignition
• Simplenote
• Air Display
• The Guardian Eyewitness

  1. I heard about the fall update for the iPad just like most of you during the WWDC announcement. You have to wonder if <i>part,/i> of the reason for the later iPad iOS4 update is a bunch of additional functionality that didn’t come with the iPhone version. I’ll bet my @ss Steve has some stuff up his sleeve that will blow our minds.

    Comic Zeal Comic Reader is superb. 5 stars.
    I’ve downloaded some two hundred comic books
    from the Golden Age for free from digitalcomic
    museum.com and reading them on the iPad.
    I’m having a ball. I’m 14 years old again!

    Who the hell would want to repeat those years again? Now, 19-24, I wouldn’t mind a bit.

  3. The list missed the MDN app! One of my most used apps, even though sometimes the editors are a bit too rabid in their Apple views. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” />
