What do you expect? Would you rather them make the app so that it can't be used offline? They have a lot of information that needs to be stored in the app.
Got a tip for us?

LOL @ All the EA games that are 4.99 for iphone and 14.99 for ipad bunch of greedy turds. Sega has Monkeyball 4.99 for iphone and 14.99 for ipad too. 14.99 is too much for a game that only last a couple hours before you beat it...hope this doesn't become a trend.
Man, someone made a ton of Chinese Applications. One of which is CCTV, or so it seems (Chinese television). My wife isn't interested in an iPad, but if she can watch her Chinese TV on it, she will buy one for sure!
iTap VNC $7.99
I'm a Network Admin (as well as other things) so it'll be nice to connect to the computers all over the office from my iPad.
Unless I missed something I didn't see any iPad version of a terminal shell like pTerm. Did anyone happen to see one?
i got
Most of the apps I think I'm gonna want for the first couple weeks of my ipad... iwork, plants v. zombies, a bunch of just freebies, fieldrunners, twitteriffic, twitpad, aim, abc, scorecenter... etc just in case there are issues with downloading on day 1.
Does anyone else think that turn based rpgs could be amazing on this gizmo?

What is the universal app? I've been looking trying to see how you tell it's universal.
How does it display in the Apps section on your iTunes?

Edit: I see they are adding this to show you how:

Just bought Pages, Keynote, and Numbers for now. Most of the overpriced games I will have to wait for their price to drop (except maybe just 1).
I see Apple is starting to push updates to Existing apps that are being made Universal.....NICE!

I believe apps that say "this app is designed for iPhone and iPad" which appears right below the buy button.
PadNotes is only $2.99, I know some of you thought the interface is iffy, but its a pretty useful apps for taking notes on PDF's and documents which is what I need.
I have gone the extra mile since the 12th and downloaded PDF user manuals, I have had those in a stack for to long, now they will sit in my iPad for easy reference. I tried it on the iPad with a garage opener but it was slow at rendering when scrolling around. I am not certain about Numbers and Pages, but love what I could do with numbers... Pages may have some compatibility short comings with DOCx files... or if your a Apple fan the short coming is on the Microsoft side, either way that might not work for me.

Thanks for the tip. Just downloaded that.
I really wanted to get NOVA for the iPad but still have not seen it yet. The key thing for me is going to be balancing iPhone and iPad games. Some may be worth buying for the iPhone and just doing a 2x deal while on the iPad but others may be worth it to just have on the iPad.
Thanks! That was the other app I knew I would need and at $2.99, the price point is perfect for the functionality (honestly, $4.99 would be completely reasonable).
Edit: Found NOVA. Pretty sure I am done buying apps for now.
I didn't see Nova either, but I did decide to pick up Sandstorm: Modern Combat for iPad, since I like the free demo on the iPhone and never picked up the full game on that platform.
Edit: Searched and found iPad Nova, picked that up as well....
I'm getting a bunch of free apps. WSJ, ABC, AIM, NPR, Accuweather, etc...I'll wait for a bit till I get the iWork suite.
I am super stoked for Saturday...can't wait!

Yeah I am also debating Sandstorm: Modern Combat. I allocated about $100 to spend on apps for the iPad/iPhone but I am just trying to find out which version to choose for these games (especially considering that the price is going to drop). I think Sandstorm would drop at most like $2 but it is just, do I want this app just for my iPad or for my iPhone as well and just sacrifice a little screen real estate and a few features.
I'm stepping away now, I've purchased a m-Solitare ($.99) NovaHD ($10), Sandstorm: Modern Combat HD ($7), Xplane for iPad ($10), and the free Ping! for Ipad, Ap News for iPad, USA Today for iPad, and Harbor Master HD. If I keep looking I'm going to spend even more!
Weird thing is Ping for Ipad isn't showing anymore, and the iphone Ping shows it works for both.... I wonder if I got a program that apple already removed?
I'm at $47 right now. Might get some more before launch. I just hope the free Netflix app comes out soon.
