    The men's college basketball tournament has tipped off and with this March Madness application you can watch games live and follow all of the action on your iPad.

  • MLS 2011 MatchDay lets me follow my Sounders

    As a FC Sounders season ticket holder I want to make sure to catch all of the soccer action from away games and for those when I am traveling so I paid the $40 for the season pass on my iPad.

  • Typical home screen layout

    As you can see I have my apps organized into folders with my favorites either on the home screen or in the bottom launcher area.

  • Watching Modern Family via ABC Player

    Modern Family is my favorite TV show and I can easily watch it on the go thanks to the slick ABC Player application.

  • Getting a laugh out of Photo Booth

    Photo Booth lets you have fun with your new iPad 2 cameras with nine different image modes.

  • iMovie on the iPad 2

    iMovie lets you create movies on the go and for many people this tool may be all they need as the line between the iPad and computer starts to really blur.

  • Playing drums in GarageBand

    I can't play the physical drums, but I sure have a lot of fun tapping away on my Apple iPad 2.

  • Google Maps on the iPad 2

    Google Maps works well on the iPad, especially when you have the 3G model with GPS receiver.
