The iPad 2 has hit the UK and we’ve got a brand new list of great apps for you. Here’s our big of the 5 best iPad 2 apps. What does that mean? The iPad 2 apps below were all created specifically for the iPad 2 or have had iPad 2 specific updates to take advantage of the new features in Apple’s latest tablet. Read on for our inaugural best iPad 2 apps list with games, news, music and video all covered…
The No Brainers
GarageBand
Get this iPad 2 app on iTunes
GarageBand is the app which will sell a million of the iPad 2. It’s the killer app, a brilliantly touch-focused reimagining of GarageBand which makes it insanely easy to make professional sounding songs. The fact that you can plug in real instruments as well as cheat with smart instruments is amazing. If you buy an iPad 2, you have to get GarageBand: it’s not just one of the best iPad 2 apps, but one of the most impressive pieces of consumer software we’ve seen in a very long time.
iMovie
Get this iPad 2 app on iTunes
iMovie is the second of Apple’s two killer iPad 2 apps. Just like Garage Band, iMovie takes the desktop experience and gives it a really powerful touch overhaul. While you might not want to capture your video with the iPad 2 camera, editing footage from other places on your iPad 2 is a really joyous experience.
Best iPad apps: the all time best
The Games
Infinity Blade
Get this iPad 2 app on iTunes
We love Infinity Blade. Those hack and slash battles looked brilliant on the first iPad and are great on the iPhone 4′s Retina Display and the game has had an iPad 2 upgrade to take advantage of the superior graphics performance.
Dead Space
Get this iPad 2 app on iTunes
Again, Dead Space was a brilliant game on the original iPad and the iPhone 4 but on the iPad 2 it’s been souped up to become even more real and even frightening. Once again, it’s that more powerful graphics set up that’s made Dead Space one of the games to get on your new iPad 2.
The Must-Have News App
Get this iPad 2 app on iTunes
Flipboard broke under the sheer wait of excitement from Twitter when it first launched but it’s strong now and getting even stronger, binding together social network content to give you a customised magazine with big photos and the stories your friends are recommending. Flipboard has had an iPad 2 update and is definitely still the news app to use.
