10 apps for the iPad not to be overlooked

New iPad full of apps

I admit I am addicted to good apps, and these 10 are as good as any. Most of them are not very well-known so most everyone should find a few to add to their list. They cover all genres, including one new game that is occupying far too much of my time. All but two of the apps listed are free.

You'd think out of 10 there would be a least ONE worth taking a second look at. Not in this list.

Thank you, Samic for saving me a lot of time which otherwise would have been wasted. The slideshows and videos that are used to "inform" us take much longer to watch than to read the same information. Plus these forms do not allow us to copy a page and save it for reference at a later date.

awful one page, one app format

So...why doesn't cnet CHANGE the way they do this, since there are folks who don't like it? Make a clickable list on the first page, so you can just jump to which app, or whatever you want. Make it easy people.

Ad Sales

Every page you click through is another ad or 2 served to your screen. Start paying attention to every site you go to for "news" they are all geared towards getting you to click through as many screens as possible.

In Washington DC, WTOP radio used to be a good news source, now their radio broadcast is made up of 1 or 2 minute blog snippets that really just tease a story and they all end with someone saying "For more info visit our Website and search for keyword " so they sell ads on the radio that really just drive you to a website that is so poorly organized that you have to click through 4 or 5 pages to NOT find the story you wanted to hear.

Progress!
If this is the way cnet wants to present possible apps..they will turn off more than they will attract...I nearly fell asleep reading about this drivel..Perhaps the author likes these useless apps but the way they are slowly presented..spare me..

CNET's slideshow-like presentations are going to shun away casual onlookers, yet frustrates serious readers. Lay them all out, why not? Are you getting lots of read counts in these slideshow articles, CNET?

Just a further illustration of the uselessness of the iPad. What a waste of time if these are the most important apps you can come up with.
