If you are to give a new iPad to a friend or family, this is the book that goes with the iPad. Or why not bundle it as an ebook within the iPad? Peter Meyers disseminates the App Store into categories, based on whether the user is looking for Apps for Work for instance, sub-categorising that into TO-DO Lists and Making Calculations, thus giving the user the ability to search by activity/need.

I was fortunate to get an iPad as a gift and for the past several weeks, I've spent some time asking people about their favorite apps but no one was quite as helpful as a great book about apps called Best iPad Apps: The Guide for Discriminating Downloaders by Peter Meyers (published by O'Reilly). While I'd found some of the recommended apps on my own, this book has opened my eyes to some really great ways to learn, have fun, and get work done with my new gadget - and the helpful screen shots and instructions have helped me learn more about the apps I've already downloaded.

Goals: I got my iPad as a tool to accomplish things with more mobility and efficiency, not to spend time wandering virtual supermarket aisles looking for the shiniest variation on a theme. Given that, I was immediately attracted by this title from O’Reilly. Both the… Full Review  >

Ok. First blush reaction to the latest O'Reilly Press title "Best iPad Apps" was that is although timely it would quickly grow outdated and the premise seemed best suited to a periodical magazine or website than a book. Full Review  >

With the sheer number of applications in the Apple App Store, it would take a long time for one to pick the best app for the task of accomplishing something. This might be the main problem for one who has just picked up the iPad. Full Review  >

"Best iPad Apps: The Guide for Discriminating Downloaders" promises to provide a guide to the best iPad apps available. The apps featured are, largely, excellent choices. In fact, thanks to the book, I discovered my new, favorite writing app, iA Writer (which I'm using to write this review...the app's amazingly-useful fifth row of keys on the virtual keyboard alone is worth the price of purchase).
