What Apps are you most excited to see iPad versions?

I would love to see a real client for an MMORPG. Be it a client for an existing or new game, or an MMORPG that is built around an iPad client.

(and I am not talking about the Storm8 kind of games who misuse the label of mmog/mmorpg)
 
I think all App's will be fantastic on the larger screen, but my favourites would be:
  • N.O.V.A
  • Dungeon Hunter
  • Red Alert
  • FaceBook
  • Need For Speed
  • Shrek Kart
  • Cocoto Online
  • Pocket god
  • Jelly Car (/ &= 2)
  • Sims 3
  • Monopoly
  • League of Legends (please)
  • Warcraft 3 TFT (please)

The iPad can seriously be considered a gaming device, once people start making high quality Racing/RPGs/Strategies/FPS games, which I imagine will be soon.
If there are enough of them, I won't need computer games anymore! I'd love some kind of MMORPG for the iPad!
 
A Comic book reader (comicreader.mobi or comiczeal)
RTSes (Warcraft Starcraft Age of Empires etc)
Old School Lucasarts Adventure Games
Jaadu VNC
 
Evernote!!

Dropbox

monopoly

some sort of note app so I can use a capacitive stylus

nova! (there I know but he said later this year which I don't like)

annotation like preview app for PDF!! (invaluable as a student)

VNC client
 
Point and click adventures. I already have Monkey's Island, but think it will be much more fun on the iPad than the iPhone.

Gotta hate those type of games. Graal Online/Classic could be kinda what you could label a MMORPG, but it kinda lags. Not really a good experience though.
 
If Dropbox can work their magic again and create a version of the (already brilliant and very useful) iPhone app for iPad which takes advantage of the 'file system' on it then that would be incredibly useful....access literally all your files wherever.....but be able to edit docs, spreadsheets and presentations as well (using iWork...or whatever really if they can access the files).

I really like the idea of board games someone mentioned above....I can imagine that could be a pretty big market actually.

Other apps I'm looking forward to/hoping will be 'reinvigorated':

Evernote (confirmed new version for iPad)
2Do (apparently they will be doing an iPad version)
Spotify (more like the desktop version hopefully)
Wordpress
Bento (again, more like the desktop version)
FourTrack (if they can incorporate some more of Riffworks features it could be a superb mobile recording unit)
Worms
Red Alert
Monkey Island

Quite a lot really!

I'm looking forward to a drum pad application that is compatible with GarageBand and Logic. Musicians would not have to buy a separate MIDI controller to program drum beats. If an application came like that came out (maybe even Apple could create a GarageBand app for iPad), I would certainly buy an iPad this summer.

I also want to see a stand alone WAV editing app that can slice and chop like

There's no point in a Facebook App for the iPad. It's got a big enough screen and enough power to comfortably use the full website. :rolleyes:

I prefer the app to the full website.

Plus, the app has controls designed for the iPad.

The iPad could easily replace sheet music for performing musicians. I see myself with the iPad on a music stand scrolling big lyrics/chords as I play to MP3 backing tracks.

Also, when practicing with the band I see the "Scroller App" projected onto the wall so all the guys can see the lyrics/chords when we are learning new stuff.

THAT would REALLY be great!!!!!:D

This is on my wish list too!
 
Yeah, I can most definitely see tons of Artist using it writing lyrics and music, and taking it into the booth to record.

Watch somebody make a ipad stand for the studio.

If the SEC or NCAA made a football version of the MLB.com app, that alone would convince me to buy it.

YOU HEAR THAT APPLE? I AM AN AVID PC USER WHO WOULD BUY YOUR iPAD IF THE NCAA OR SEC HAD AN APP SIMILAR TO THE MLB.com APP!

Apple could own the Southeast if that happened.

Does Apple own the NCAA or does YELLING at Apple cause Apple to YELL at the NCAA to make an App?:D ...and if Apple buys and owns the Southeast do I pay my mortgage and water bill to Apple.:confused:
 
Citrix Receiver for me, so I can connect to my work's desktop and not have to bother lumping my lappy home!
 
A Hulu.com app--because I believe 90% of the people complaining about the "no Flash" stand are mainly worried about Hulu, and an app would mean 90% less complainers on Macrumors. Then Farmville, to take care of 8 of the remaining 10%.

Definitely a Hulu app, I'd buy that. Just hope that Apple would not reject it.
 
I'm interested in seeing multiuser networked applications with both iPad and iPhone/Touch companion clients working together.

A simple example of this might be a poker game in which the iPad application displays the table with all bets and the iPhone client displays the hand to each player.

Another example might be an RPG style game in which the iPhone/Touch clients provide the 1st person view and character attributes and the iPad shows the overhead map.

A football (or baseball) game, reminiscent of the Mattel handhelds from my adolescence, would be an example of this as well. Offensive and defensive plays would be displayed on the iPhone clients and the gameplay would be simulated on the iPad.

Productivity applications would also benefit from this type of function. For instance an image editing app might pull real time images from an iPhones camera and be displayed on the iPad. Once the image is selected for editing the iPhone would become the paint palette or toolbox and the iPad would be used full screen for editing.

I thought the same thing at first but if you really think about it, the app is designed for your finger while the website is designed for a mouse. Which would be better on the iPad?
