Best apps for ipad?

New York Times Top 10 iPad Apps - Do you have a favorite app that complements the NY Times best apps list?

• I liked the list of apps that a NY Times article recommended a while ago as their top 10. These included the likes of SketchBook Pro, Soundhound, Angry Birds, Star Walk, Netflix, Fruit Ninja HD and Evernote. However, I'm looking for something that complements those apps, and am specially interested in the little-known but useful ones that you may have come across and are currently using. So, what's your fave to complement New York Times top 10 apps list?

• Answer:

  My favorite would be a security app (yes, a security app) for the iPad because -- believe it or not -- an extra layer of security is important given the more and more private data we transfer using our iPads. Besides, this is a "little-known" area that many users are not paying attention to. And since you're a NY Times reader, I'm sure you must have read of the numerous browser vulnerabilities and breach attempts on the Apple tablet (European hackers were able to get admin access of numerous iPads about a year or so ago). With that in mind, my favorite to complement the NY Times list would be the HidePad security app: http://hidepad.annics.com HidePad performs a stunning variety of functions ranging from network encryption to secure iPad email. It also makes your iPad banking secure, unblocks websites and protects your private conversations while you're connected to the internet or WiFi.
