The iPad has proven to be a very capable device when it comes to connecting with others, saving information, getting news updates, and even playing games on an iPad. While some people may just use their ipad for internet use and editing documents, there are tons of other iPad features and iPad apps that can bring you hours and hours of enjoyment. In this article you will find some of my favorite apps for the iPad and you will also learn about some of the best iPad apps that you can download for free.

• Huffington Post App - The huffington post app is free and I like it a lot because it can push notifications to you about news going on around the world and around the country. You can also tweet news updates very easily by using the tweet feature within the app. This app is a must for anyone that gets news updates from their iPad.

I also use Tweet Adder to get more followers on twitter, and that certainly is a great tool to use to increase twitter followers.
