Whether you've already got yourself a new iPad from Apple or are just thinking about it, then it's worth checking out the great range of apps available. We've put together a list of some of the best. First up is NetFlix, which is ideal for people who enjoy streaming television shows or movies to watch no matter where you are. As a plus point, the app is free as long as you already have a NetFlix account. Plus, it works as long as you have internet access.If you're a fan of playing games while you're out and about, then you'll enjoy the Plants versus Zombies app. It's a fairly simple game that involves planting monstrous foliage in order to protect your 'house' from attack. It is, admittedly, a slightly weird concept but there's much more room to play it on the iPad than the iPhone, which makes it a massive improvement. It's won over twenty game of the year awards, so is massively popular. Plus it's in high definition and comes with a range of levels.If you're the sort of person who likes to be in touch with the news but don't want to buy a newspaper everyday, then you could take advantage of the New York Times Editor's Choice, which is free for the time being. You get to use all the sections that normally come with the NYT as well as view lots of articles, photos and videos. The iPad makes the app really clear and easy to read, so it's a really good one to go for.Twitter is one of the most popular social networking sites out there and it's increasingly used for communicating and keeping up with friends and contacts. If you're one of the people who use it a lot, then you'll love the Tweetdeck app for iPad. It has a similar display to the column-based desktop version and you can choose between the 3 column horizontal version or the 2 column vertical display that lets you view tweets from your friends with the same features as the site itself.Lastly, if you're a food lover and enjoy cooking then you'll love Epicurious. This app allows you to access recipes on your iPad whenever you want and has had over 3.5 million downloads so far, making it massively popular. There are lots of categories to choose from, including 'cool cocktails', 'decadent desserts' and 'weeknight dinners'. The database of recipes is great and, not only that, but the app is completely free, too, making it even more desirable than it already was.
