Most used apps...hmmm. *rubs chin*
I'd start with AppStart if you're new to the iPad. It's free and lists apps for you to use in certain scenarios. Like Sports? AppStart tells you which sports apps are the best.
My top favorites are (in no particular order), Netflix, Twitter, Flipboard, Wired Magazine, AppShopper, UNO, The Weather Channel, ESPN's ScoreCenter XL, AirMusic and Dropbox.

I have added to my list 13 apps that I'll get when I have iPad 2, only thing is that they cost total 26,02 Euros, lol
I know this thread was pretty much dead but I need your help agien.
On this Thursday I'll send money to my friend so he gets iPad 2 for me, only thing is that I really dont have that much money right now to get 32Gb version. I do have money for iPad 2 16gb, shipping to Latvia, smart cover and money for apps that I really want. Do you think I will be ok with 16gb?
Those are apps I'll download when get my iPad

I really want it right now
No but I figured this one out, if I'll run out of space, I'll get Seagate GoFlex Satellite 500Gb wireless hdd. Actually looks really good.
My $.02 on the size - go with the 32 GB.
I have a 16 GB iPad (original) and when I upgrade it'll be at least 32. The games that everyone has metioned are getting bigger and bigger in size. If you plan on downloading more than a couple of apps that are going to take up a large amount of space and a handful of movies, go for the 32. It's better to have more space than not enough.

Obviously, you will have plenty of space for the apps. But, I am not sure how you plan to use your iPad.
I have hundreds of pdfs (books/articles) on mine along with photographs of research materials and a few saved notebooks in Evernote and my 16GB is pretty full. I manage the space carefully, and I think my next iPad will probably be 16GB as well. My point, though, is that you will have to be careful and you should think about the stuff you end up putting into those apps. If you are watching HD movies and such, it seems to me that you will be better off with a 32GB.

That will only hold media and aren't they more than 100? Seriously, just save for the 32. Like everyone else has said, apps are getting bigger and bigger everyday. Now if you plan on getting an iPad 3 around March then by all means go ahead and get a 16 GB. If you plan on keeping it longer, get a 32.
My 16gb iPad 2 shows that I have 14.0gb to use as I please. I only keep a couple of videos on it. I don't really play games on it either except Words With Friends and We Doodle. Mostly I use my iPad for light web browsing and reading the news. So for me the 16gb iPad is plenty.
This is probably useless for the op, but judicious use of cloud services like dropbox, sugarsync (i have paid account), and evernote (i have premium account) means that a lot of your stuff can be stored off the ipad. this requires a bit more planning, but it works well for work stuff.
When iPad 3 comes out next year I'll sell my iPad 2 and get iPad 3 that's for sure. Good thing is that they are so expensive in Latvia and I will have good resell value.
I'll get iPad 2 16gb, I think it will be ok, it it will not, sell my iPad 2 and get bigger one or whait for iPad 3.
Any way iPad 2 16gb is what I will get.
Thank you guys.
