3. GoodReader
GoodReader is the best PDF reader for the iPhone, and the
iPad version is even better than the iPhone version. What
makes GoodReader special is that it can not only view local
files (and you can transfer files to it from iTunes), including
PDF, Word, Excel, PNG, TXT, JPEG and more, but you can
download files from a URL or connect to a web server.
4. Things
Cultured Code's Things is easily one of the top task managers
for Mac OS X. The iPad version is much more similar to its
desktop counterpart than it is to the iPhone version (hence the
larger price), but for small business users who are already part
of the Things ecosystem, it's a delight to use.
5. Bento
FileMaker's Bento is a database app for business users who
want to have a powerful database system, but don't want to
have to deal with the complex database syntax. For Mac users,
Bento integrates so well with iLife and iWork it might as well
be called iData.
6. iWork
Apple really took its time in developing the iWork apps for
iPad, making sure that the productivity system would be easy
and intuitive. You can create new documents or open up
existing document types (if they aren't native iWork files you
will have to convert them, this can take a few moments
depending on file size).
7. Box.net
Box.net has updated from its iPhone version to the iPad
version and it becomes a iPad app for bussion user. You can
view all of your files, view activities, leave comments and
more. In the future the ability to open files with other
programs and integrate with other services will be added.
Box.net isn't at full speed yet, but it's a great start.
