The only unquiet ghost that does not seek rest

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)
