1. Yahoo! Entertainment

This is a great free application from Yahoo that provides you with a lot of information about any TV shows that are currently airing or are about to air. You can plan your TV viewing using the interactive Program Guide, watch free videos provided by Yahoo and read the latest news in any category using this iPad application.

2. ABC Player

ABC Digital has thankfully jumped on the whole Internet TV bandwagon (a lot of other companies are also doing it) and not only have they created an online streaming channel, but also released their own apps for desktop computers, and now the iPad. Kudos to them, because thanks to this app, you can freely stream their channel right onto your iPad at very good quality and speed, and watch some of their best shows (and sadly, commercials) whenever they air.

3. Marvel Comics

Marvel’s comic reading application or the iPhone has become very popular, but due to the small screen, it’s not that comfortable to read the comics on it. Now the iPad is in a totally different league. With its large screen and 1024×768 resolution, you can easily view and read full page comics in a comfortable manner, like you were reading the actual paper magazine.

4. Ocean Blue

Ocean Blue is an excellent application (some people call it a game) for relaxing and learning a lot about aquatic life. The game has excellent 3D graphics of underwater sceneries and fish, and you learn about them as you sort of swim along them. Children also love it and it’s better for their brain than some shooters or even racing.

5. Mixr

This is an amazing unique (for now) application that replicated the function of a DJ turntable! Thanks to the iPad’s great touch screen, you no longer have to spend $2000 for a turntable to create a nice DJ mix party at your home or local club. And in conjunction with other apps, the functionality can be extended by a very high degree.
