So you’ve found yourself blown away by Apple’s new iPad 2, and March 11 doesn’t seem like it can come soon enough. If you decided to hold out until now, watching all your friends and family enjoy their now-vintage iPads, good for you. The new iteration of the Apple tablet is thinner than the iPhone 4, it has a powerful dual-core processor and manages to retain its incredible 10-hour battery life. However, it’s the apps that really make the iPad shine, and if you’re new to the device, here are 25 of our favorites that we think every newbie should download.
1. Friendly for Facebook

3. Flipboard
When you open the app, you can flip through two pages full of tiles that are linked with each website or social networking service you designated. Once you click on the tile, you’re taken into a newspaper or magazine style layout that makes browsing it all more palatable. Best of all, it’s completely free.
