21. Imo
It’s rare to find all your chat buddies using the same platform. Imo
looks to simplify things by connecting to various popular services —
Facebook, Google Talk, Skype, AIM and many more — and presents it all in
a straightforward, tablet-specific interface. The app is free.

22. Interion Design
Before you start moving furniture around willy-nilly, take the time
to map out your home using this $10 design app to make sure everything
will fit first. Once all your stuff’s in place, take a 3-D walk-through
of each room to see what they will look like in real life.

23. IntoNow
Yahoo’s free IntoNow app uses your iPad’s microphone to identify
whatever TV show you’re watching in real time based on the show’s audio
track. Once the show has been identified, you can watch (and opine, of
course) with friends who are also watching the show.

24. iTunes U
Of all the things to shrink down so it fits inside an iPad, a
world-class education might top the list. Apple’s iTunes U app features
over half a million lectures, videos and books from some of the top
learning institutions around the globe — all for free.

25. Join.me
The Join.me app lets you host dead-simple virtual meetings by
directing attendees to the Join.me site (or iPad app) and having them

26. Kindle
There are several worthwhile e-book reading apps to choose from, but
Amazon’s Kindle platform gets the nod thanks to its availability on just
about every other device on the market. If it’s connected, you can
probably use it to read a Kindle book.

27. LogMeIn
Murphy’s law: You’ll forget something important on your computer and
won’t realize it until it’s almost too late. The free LogMeIn app lets
you connect to your home computer (make sure to leave it turned on) and
control it remotely as though you were sitting in front of it.

28. Mint
Instead of downloading separate apps to keep track of each
credit-card and bank account you own, try Mint. The free app connects to
all your accounts and displays your balances, lets you customize a
budget and shows your spending trends organized by category.

29. Newsy

30. Paper
Paper is a free iPad app with a simple interface that lets you write,
sketch and paint in virtual notebooks. It may not seem like rocket
science, but realistically replicating the feel of various writing and
art utensils on a tablet screen is a complicated feat that Paper pulls
off with style.
