My Current iPad Apps
Before I swapped my broken iPad for a new one I took screenshots of each page of apps, just in case it all went belly-up and I had to retrieve them all manually somehow.
Here are all the apps I use. Well, I say use, but some of them I don't actually use.
Most are games and most are Felix's (some are Minnie's too though). If I had to choose a top ten of my favourites/most used/relied on they would be:
- Ars Technica
- Words
- Real Racing
- Reckless Racing
- Infinity Blade
- Soosiz
- Stumbleupon
- Cut The Rope
I'm sure it's been noted elsewhere, but... applications represented by square icons, arrayed in a grid, accessed by selecting different pages... remind you of anything "legacy"? :-)

Ouch. Controversial.
It certainly seems legacy to me. I can't remember the last time I pressed CTRL+N in Domino Designer. Must be at least a year now. Only gets launched once or twice a week for support queries. Seems a shame really. Onwards and upwards though!

Yeah - sorry.
But it's a point for usability. Since XEROX we have had windows and drop-down menus. Every body knocked off that model. Lotus came up with the chicklet scheme and for some folks it's very usable. Apparently it must be uber user friendly for Apple to adopt it being they reign supreme on usability.
The only real significant UI departure in recent memory is Touch with it's stuff strewn everywhere model, which I guess iPhone / iPad couldn't well adopt with MS making so much noise about it.
So I guess as we go onward and upward, we're bound to see the same interfaces over and over so long as we have a 2d plane to interact with. Will 3d holographic displays fall back on these ideas do you think?

no Angry Birds? ;)

No. Tried it and didn't really like. I'd played Trucks v Skulls before and preferred that (same kind of thing).
