So, with many developers releasing iPad-specific apps or iPhone apps upgraded to take advantage of the larger iPad screen and/or speed, what are your "must have" iPad apps?

Let's keep this specific to apps designed for or optimized for the iPad (i.e., no iPhone apps that need to be run at 1x or 2x screen size).

Some of mine:

1) Netflix

2) Kindle App

3) USA Today

4) Good Reader

5) Twitterific

6) Pages

Anxiously awaiting for some of my favorite iPhone apps to be updated to iPad apps...

Probably because they're ramping up productionlike crazy and will be shifting boxing and shipping to whichever region it's needed for most on a short-term basis for the first few months. Actual production has been identical for all global markets for a number of years now.

IBooks will be USA-only for a while yet, so it makes sense to leave it off units that will be distributed internationally.
