Okay, technies; give me what you've got

[burying_songs]

In a unexpected, overwhelming and bizarre turn of events, on Monday I found myself in possession of a 4th generation iPad of my very own. I've been waffling over whether or not to get some sort of tablet for awhile--it's not anything that I needed or necessarily really wanted, but on the last few holidays I've been on, the folks around me have had them (or laptop equivalents) and the constant exposure to them created more of an interest than I'd previously expressed--but the decision was taken out of my hands and now I have this thing that I don't particularly know what to do with.

So, as always, I turn to you, Trusted Internet (and real life) friends: Do any of you have iPads (or iPhones), and if so, what are you favorite applications (I really really REALLY hate the "word" "apps." I just hate it. Ugh)? What do you use this hardware for? Is there a livejournal application that is worth the money they want for it?

GIVE ME YOUR KNOWLEDGE. Please and thank you. ♥

(I am very excited to try this Face Time thing out, but am skeptical about it's feasibility)

My sister uses FaceTime a lot to speak to my other sister and the kids when they're at home, or we're on separate holidays, so as long as the internet connection is good, it's pretty cool. I don't tend to have a lot of applications on my phone except for the practical ones like What's App, Snapshot can be fun, I have banking ones and Word with Friends (my sis and I have battles).

I will check out both What's App and Snapshot; thanks for the tips! I'm curious about Face Time--my coworker says he talks to his friend in Guatemala on it, so mayyyyyyyybe it will allow me to talk to you guys more? Maybe?
