So what all apps are you using on your iPad. The ones which I am using are as follows...

Airvideo: Converts video from your PC/Mac on the fly and streams it on the iPad.
Atomic web browser: an alternate browser for iPad with loads of features along with gestures.
Things for ipad: more or less like a to do list software.

What I am looking for is...

A better browser...
Wallpaper app...
Games...

Post your favorite apps...
 
If your a football fan you should really get hold of Finger Footie

An Indian indie game startup called YellowMonkeyStudio has developed and they really look promising.

I havnt come across any other Indian studio that has already released stuff for iPad. Such studios really deserve some support.
 
Try out the "Perfect Browser" its real nice and games i personally am not a huge ipad gaming fan but i like Mirror's edge, Angry birds ,street fighter4(iphone one) and shrek karting.
 
The ones I use are

1- Good Reader for reading PDFs

2- Keynote for making quick presentations while travelling

3- Office2HD for reading and quick editing office docs

4- OPlayer HD fpr native support of Divx/Xvid

5- iFishPond for amusement (its really soothing)

6- NFS Shift for some fun

Anyone tried iCab Mobile Webbrowser? Seems to be getting rave reviews!

Any software which can mount windows shared folders? Basically want to access files without transferring them.
 
I use both stream to me and air video. Both apps have their pros and cons. While air video can stream as well as covert videos on the pcs for iPad it cannot stream music. Stream to me on the other hand can stream music as well as videos but it cannot do any conversion. I have noticed that stream to me is a tad better app then air video when it comes to video quality for live streaming.
 
For people who want to play videos locally (in virtually any format) try any of the following apps:

Name: oPlayer HD

Formats: WMV/AVI/MKV /RM/RMVB/XVID/mp4/3GP/MPG

Price: $4.99

Name: YxPlayer

Formats: DivX/Xvid, WMV, H.264 and More...

Price: $4.99

Name: CineXPlayer

Formats: Xvid AVI files

Price: Free

All these would work with FileBrowser? I guess FileBrowser is copying file to local before opening it :S
 
^^No, you basically transfer movies to your iPad via USB using iTunes itself.

@Switch: AFAIK, it does not play 720p movies so well (if it does at all)
