Best application for iPad

1. Real Racing 2 HD

If you're looking for the ultimate in mobile 3D racing games, Real Racing 2 HD delivers with beautiful, fluid, realistic graphics. Two new gyroscope-based steering methods makes hugging those curves even easier, since you don't have to touch the iPad's screen to steer.




2. Jenga HD

The nailbiter coffee-table block-building game of your youth breaks into the next dimension on the iPad 2. Full gyroscope support means you can simply move the tablet around to get various perspectives on the block pile. For example, placing the iPad parallel to the ground gives you a top-down birdseye view you can't get otherwise. In the iPhone version (sans gyroscope support), you need to flick the screen to move around the board. It really brings a new dimension to the already-fun game.





3. Google Earth

The awesome Google Earth is another app that really showcases the iPad 2's processing and graphics power. The app is visually stunning, moving around is fast and seamless, and you rarely have to wait for a map to redraw. Here's hoping Google adds gyroscope support soon.




4. Flipboard

This gorgeous, graphics-intensive, just-for-the Web "magazine" that lets you flip through your news and social media was no slouch on the first-gen iPad, and performance is even better on the iPad 2.






5. GarageBand

This excellent Mac program translates extremely well to the iPad and is true testament to how much iOS has matured—it's a desktop-class app running on a mobile device. It also showcases the new tablet's processing power.

6. iMovie

Apple's own desktop video-editing app, iMovie, goes mobile with a new iPad version. The easy-to-use app makes good use of the tablet's touch-screen interface, and lets you clip, add photos, music, themes, and more to the video you capture right on the iPad 2.





7. WebEx

If you need to work, but don't want to be tethered to your desk, this virtual meeting app offers two-way video conferencing that uses the iPad's front-facing camera, but just like with FaceTime, you need to be on a Wi-Fi network to use it.





8. Twittelator

Currently, Twittelator is the only Twitter client that lets you record audio and video, and take photos with the iPad 2's cameras, and use them to help illustrate your tweets.






9. Incredibooth

If the sheer fun of Apple's own preloaded Photo Booth isn't enough for you, Incredibooth turns your iPad into, well, a photo booth. Four lens filters let you create different image styles, and after you pose for your close-up in front of the iPad's front-facing camera, you have a photo strip you can either trash, share on Facebook, or e-mail to your friends.




10. Pocketbooth HD

A pumped-up version of Incredibooth, Pocketbooth HD lets you use either of the iPad 2's cameras to shoot, and offers a lot more settings to tinker with. 'Send to Twitter' and 'Print' are additional sharing options you don't get with Incredibooth.
