I'm new to the iPad club. I've had mine all of maybe 24 hours! Of that 24 hours, I lost six to sleep, about that many more to school assignments, and a few more to an out of town jaunt this afternoon. So we're still getting acquainted, the iPad and I.

So far though: I love the screen! I've been juggling back and forth reading on my Asus T91MT convertible netbook/tablet and my Sony 950 for awhile... I can read on either screen technology with no eyestrain. I absolutely am in love with the iBooks interface.

I've found some neat apps, among them the absolute best Mahjongg game I have ever played. I also found Bejeweled, a piano app, and a very cool Weather app that I can add places to.
I want a general converter for volume, temperature, etc. and a world clock. I've found both in the app store, but I've found so MANY of them I can't decide.
I also would like a sketchpad app.
The only issue I have so far is conflicting reviews of so many of the apps in the App Store, making it hard to decide what to get.
I also need some sort of way to prop it at an angle for easier typing. Yes, I know they make myriad solutions for this, I just haven't gotten one yet.
