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)

Is instagram connected to facebook? Because I neither have nor want a facebook account, so I've been dubious regarding instagram.

Thank you so much for the other app(lications) suggestions! I'm a bit of a luddite when it comes to the New Technology and can use all the help I can get! Snagged Yelp, YouTube & Pinterest, but all the rest were new to me, so I've got a lot to explore.

I'm not much of a gamer, to be honest, but I will keep you in mind as a source. ;)

No, I'm not on facebook either. You can link them, however you can have Instagram without facebook.

You're welcome. What's your name on pinterest? I'm pegm81484.

But does the facebook team have access to and rights to whatever you put on instagram? I only ask because I don't want to support them in any way, shape or form. ;)

I am debsbasement on pinterest (it's through my twitter of the same name).

So I found you on twitter (I'm not on that, I just wanted to check I spelled your name right), but you're name isn't coming up on pinterest... sorry! Feel free to follow me, and I'll follow you back if you want.
