There are now more than 328,000 apps designed specifically for iPad available (as at 12/21/12) - very close to double the number that there were at this time last year. There are iPad apps for just about any use that can be imagined for them - from excellent business and productivity apps to iPad editions of leading newspapers and magazines, to amazingly capable apps for enhancing our photos and videos, to stellar apps for education and of course plenty of entertainment apps and great iPad games.
