Games: Falldown, Paper Toss, GTSWR,Slam King and Fishing King are just a few that I use.

 

Lifestyle: Ebay, Around me, Voucher Cloud are all useful apps

 

Social Network: Facebook, What's App, Twitter, HeyTell and Lockerz (for your twitter pics)

 

Sports: Eurosport, iManUtd (if your a utd fan?!)

 

Entertainment: Sky+ (record on the go) Sky Go (watch movies and sports live) Justin.tv (stream sports from around the world and don't pay for things like box office) Shazam (for your music) ITV player

 

These are just some that I use. I's be here for hours listing everything!

Wireless is the best way to watch sky Go :)

 

There are guitar apps from techniques to tabs to tuning!

 

Some of the apps that Voddka shots has listed are also a must lol.

 

Don't get in to the jailbreaking scene just yet, get used to your ipad 1st.

Since the last update you can't jailbreak an iPad 2 at the mo anyway.

iv got my ipad 2 jailbroke.

While we are on the subject anyone recommend an alternative to itunes for listening to music and watching videos

Unless you know something I don't, until the new jailbreak is released, the only jailbreaks for iPad 2 were for 4.3.3

 

Anyone on anything later is up sh!t creek without a paddle on iPad 2 until the new jb appears ( if it appears)

 

New iPads are shipping with 5.01 at the moment so ipad2 owners are stuffed for a while.

now you are all just talking klingon .....lol like the idea of streaming to the i pad as getting movies in the correct mp4 format is not easy and then most of the time itunes wont accept them ....bloody apple software

This is where the Jailbreak comes in useful :) inc Flash Player!

Jailbreak is the only way to go for those who are able to do it. Makes iphones and ipads infinitely more useful without some of the really stupid limitations placed on them by apple.

 

anyway, my favourites from around 3 to 6 months back are here

for those wondering about what cydia and jailbreaks (minus any piracy and dubious information :angel: ) there is another link here for that bit alone along with a couple details about my favourites Cydia apps (all in use by me so I must like them or find them useful). Also done about 3-6 months ago.

Would just like to add that people seem to miss out, is if you have SBsettings installed its a wise idea to to turn the update notifications off for it with in cydia, or you can end up with what i did on the last update for it, stuck in a continual loop with out the ability to let me get back into the iphone with out updating it to 5.0.1 with a restore, was just lucky i had a 3Gs, biggest problem though, is im now on a semi tethered jailbreak and not a untethered one now. so i have to wait.

 

BUT it is handy for taking SHSHblobs of your iphone so you have a complete back up and also the ability to downgrade at a later date if you need to or even custom firmware..
