Who has an iPad?

My girlfriend recently got an iPad 2 for her birthday and she loves it but wants to learn how to do more with it. I was wondering what kind of cool apps you guys can recommend? Is there any browser that she could get other than Safari?
Also, I think I am going to jailbreak it for her. That would allow her to have access to a whole bunch more of free apps, right?
I'll admit, I could read up on all of this shit, but frankly I don't have the time right now and would love it if you guys could give me some tips, pointers, and tricks with the iPad.

I used to have one. Jailbreak it.
Until then, it's pretty much a pos.

If you break the Ipad down, it seems like it should be Pre-Laptop era.
It is pretty much a ghetto laptop.
I won't own one. Get the -This was a waste of money- app.

Jail break that shit. I just did with my ipod touch 1g and it's nice.
Also get the Star walk app. If the ipad has gps it is lke a planetarium in real time showing you where everything is in the sky.
I watched 2012 happen on my ipod the last time I was on a lot of shrooms, pretty neat app.

Blah blah blah. You know if you got one for free you'd be all over that shit. The thing is pretty fucking cool, I gotta admit. Would I spend my money on one? Neg, but if I got one for free it would be my favorite new tech device. Girlfriend is an artist and there are a shitload of art apps out there that allow her to do digital sketches, pretty nifty if I do say so myself. She picked up a stylus that lets her sketch on it like she would with paper. Helps her to prevent dragging a big ass bag full of art shit all over the place.
As far as jail breaking it goes, I will read up on it and do that ASAP.

If it were free that'd be cool. I can't justify $600 on that shit though.

No shit, I find it weird that people can not wait a week or two for an apple product to restock but at the same time will camp out for a week just to be in line for day #1.
Granted some make a buck on those things, like the PS3 and shit but. If you are not selling it for cash, what the fuck is wrong with you?

i loved my first ipad when i had it, but i sold that before the ipad 2 and opted for a laptop- couple hundred more bucks- way more use. that said, i have my eyes set on ipad 3 cause that ones gonna be sick, but it'll prob be about the same price and you can usually re-sell apple products for about it's value so i might end up getting an ipad2 a couple weeks down the line if i have the extra money. i really like it as a gaming system, its a lot of fun to fuck around with.
