LightTrac looks interesting. Do you use it before or during the shoot?
I think I already posted in this topic earlier, but my favorite Apps at the moment are LogMeIn and Air Video.
Got a tip for us?

iPad Apps That Don't Suck [The iPad Apps Megathread]
I thought I would kickstart this very much needed threaded that will hopefully serve as an informative thread about good apps for the iPad. I know that there are already some threads around but they either got derailed, got less active (aka disappeared),
If you got an app that you think is worth mentioning please do, briefly explaining what it does and why you think it is good so others reading the thread get an idea. Also feel free to discuss your favorite apps, ask for opinions about a specific app...etc.

First and foremost in this thread should go Goodreader.
It allows you to view pdf's. I know. Yawn.
But it also allows you to connect to servers using webdav and ftp and retrieve files to open on your iPad. It adds "open with goodreader" to the list of options for email attachments. It allows you to send files via email. It allows you to start a "server" on your iPad so you can drag and drop files to or from your iPad via wifi from another computer. It allows you to manage files within Goodreader's own space. This is a limitation for ALL iPad apps at this time. Goodreader only costs $1 and pretty much does everything more expensive apps like Air Sharing HD do.
The first app you should get for your new iPad is Goodreader.

I'm a big fan of Readdledocs. The iPad version of IMDB is very slick too. I absolutely love Air Video. Twittelator iPad is very good - though I'm not entirely convinced on it's new UI, but I like the way it handles embedded pics in tweets.
In terms of games: Flight Control HD, Harbour Master HD, Geometry Wars, Tap Tap Radiation, Cogs HD, Virtual Pool, are all great.

I have heard Readledocs does what Goodreader does but I have not tried it. Doesn't Readledocs cost more?
BTW, I also paid separately for goodreader for my iPad. They want you to pay extra for ftp and again for google docs so I held off on that. I plan to use my iTouch as an iPad backup when I need to make sure I have a document with me in pdf format so that's why I coughed up the extra buck for goodreader on the iTouch.
ReaddleDocs does much the same thing. I prefer the RD user interface. I think RD has more server options - as well as WebDAV and FTP, it connects to DropBox, Readdle (they give you 500mb for free), iDisk, Google Docs, Box.Net, MyDisk, and FilesAnywhere.
The other nifty feature is that it makes use of the iPad USB file sharing feature. Connect it to your Mac and click on one of the tabs on your iPad in iTunes and you get a list of Apps that can share files over USB, including ReaddleDocs. You can then drag files to and from Readdle over USB2 - much quicker than over Wifi.
+1.
I use Readdledocs as my primary pipe into my office server that has a hosted scan folder from my corp scanner for customers.
It's great because I can connect via the program to any scanned document live (SBS 2003/default web hosting) and look at any item, save it- and then shoot it to anyone via email.
I use to have to call my office, have them e-mail it to me, and then send it along.
Pretty nifty. Just wish it had Exchange integration; which it does not (I cannot use the imap feature).
I saw a couple people recommended School Notes, but are there any good Office Notes apps? I'd like to have an excuse to bring the Ipad to work! 
Thanks.

The app is still free and is now called Sundry Notes now and is every bit as suitable for office use as in a class lecture or a block club meeting.
There is also Pages. I used Pages for taking notes and it works fairly well but I like Sundry Notes better. I also used the built in memos app. If I'm in a meeting dealing mostly with numbers, like a budget meeting, I use Numbers.
I haven't purchased Keynote yet, but when I run across a need I will buy it. I'm very impressed with Numbers and Pages.
Hell YES!
Here's a good site that list daily updates on free iPad and iPod/iPhone apps. (free app alert)
Wow, The first two are absolute garbage. If they are the definition of good i am glad i didn't spend money on the third! Seriously, not even worth a free download, awful lag, horrible collision detection, long load times, upscaled subpar gfx..just, awful.
