iBooks
Just to add choice to the mix, I use Amazon Kindle as the books aren't locked into iOS then. I prefer the iBooks app (number of pages left in chapter feature) but at least Kindle works on most platforms.

Tweetbot - I think its better than the Twitter app
Facebook
Angry Birds - you have 4 versions to choose from!
Words With Friends
Draw Something
Check to see if your banking institution(s) has an iPad app, a lot of them do.
Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head, I don't have my iPad with me at the moment.

I think it depends on what you do...
As a student I have keynote and pages (which is kinda like Microsoft office)
I also have a note taking app called notability and then Things which is like a check list/to do list. I also loved istudies which was like a course work check list/ calendar.
But, there are lots of other fun things I like too. Draw something is always fun, and I like pulse (which is a tapping musical game, but nothing like rockband. It's very aesthetic and more ambient.)
There is also iSleep + iHome which I use an alarm clock. It's neat cause you can wake up to music and it'll update you with news if you want, and it tracks your hours per night and gives you an average of how much sleep you get. Though sometimes I guess you might not want to know!

GoodReader for files and PDF's.
Talkatone to make phone calls via Google voice.

what the differnece between that and air playit
obviously air playit is free, but doesn't it provide pretty much the same features?
I just got my first ipad, so i am a bit new to what is out there. So far I like Star Walk, Brian Cox Wonders of the Universe, CNN, GarageBand, Animoog, Sketchbook, Paper, real racing 2, and sky gamblers.
I don't really know what and if there is much of a difference.
Air video does have a free version too but it limits you to 4 videos or folders.
One difference I did notice is that AirVideo has subtitle support, while Aitplayit doesn't appear to. Important to me, since I always use subtitles with my videos, but if you don't use subtitles, then it doesn't matter.
Tapatalk for the quickest and smoothest ad free browsing for Mac Rumor forums.
You gotta be crazy not to be using it.

Why would I pay $5 to browse forums when I can do that perfectly well with the built in browser? IMO you have to be crazy to be using it.
I use text free to do just what it says - free texting to any number, incoming and outgoing. You can also switch between devices (ie. Between your iPad and whatever phone you use) during a conversation, kinda like with iMessage.

i'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but the NPR app is absolutely a MUST! (and it's free!!!)
when i'm on kitchen duty after dinner, i love to stream some of the days stories that look interesting. and the app's interface is really awesome. and it locates nearby stations and streams live.
the new york times app is really nice too, but recently, i started using the safari browser for nytimes, and i'm really appreciating having the full website effect.
ultimately, you'll be surprised just how good the browser is for internet... including macrumors!

If anyone listens to a lot of podcasts and uses iTunes to manage them, switching to downcast is a huge improvement.
Never have to sync them over, choose what to download and what just to stream to save space, playlists, awesome gesture control, universal app, cloud sync between your iphone/iPad, etc.

Built-in data compression! You also have tons of forums you visit at the tip of your hands. You can also sync all your forum accounts across different mobile devices.
Like it says in the description, "It's one of those applications that you didn't know you needed until you had it and then you couldn't do without it."
I used to think the same until I tried it out in Beta many moons ago and then got hooked.
Guess 1 million iOS users and I are crazy!
I bought the 3 dollar version.

** I highly recommend downloading AppStart for iPad (2012 Edition), it's free for a limited time. It's basically an iPad starter guide which shows all the essential apps.
