A1 Perfect Web Browser. Just came out for the iPad. I love.

If you like point and click adventure games, Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars. Great game with great length. Definitely good value.
 
^^ Another cheap plug?

Maybe that is a legit service (I doubt it) but no way in hell I'm paying $50 when they can't even give you a list of content you get access too.

EDIT:
guess it was a cheap plug... deleted by mods.
