My most frequent iPad app is Flipboard. Combined that with Twitter and you have tons of information formatted in Digital Newspaper style.
However, my experience changes after several months.

My favorite apps for iPad, along with a few reasons:
LogMeIn Ignition - remote login to other computers. Cost $30, but this is business-class software. It is simple and awesome!
HanDBase - a wonderful full-featured database for handhelds and desktops. I use it to store all my logins and passwords and sync with all my devices and computers.
PCCalc - an feature-rich calculator that includes optional RPN. I'm basically a math teacher, so my students and I use this often.
Dropbox - file sync. It's FREE and I can leave my laptop at home.
PS Express - picture editing software that I can use while waiting at the airport.
Drawcast - art software that helps pass time at the airport.
PhotoPad - free picture editing software that seems to have even more features that PS Express. It is particularly good for adjusting colour.
MissionEuropa - a massive first-person dungeon-horror experience in the best tradition of Doom and Quake, though this one has a deep story to go along with the mayhem. This runs in 2X mode on iPad, but it is *beautiful*.
Sky Combat - a vertical scroller with a lot of interesting enemies, power-ups and weapons. This game hits it's stride on the big iPad screen.
Chopper 2 - a horizontal scroller with beautiful graphics and a big story arc. I also find this much easier to play on the bigger screen.
Dubble Bubble - a fun and addictive bubble popping game. I made the mistake of showing it to my spouse and that is why I'm typing this on my PC
.
VectorTank Extreme - in the tradition of BattleZone, this vector-graphics game has a great soundtrack. It's fast, fun and extreme!

!AppShopper is by far my favorite. Shows you which apps got their prices reduced, or if they're given out for free.
