apple apps part1- for newbies
Find My iPhone – This app works with iPhone and iPad as well, and it should be one of the first apps that you download. You never know when something might happen to your iPad, either through an accident of your own or stolen. With Find My iPhone and its integrated iCloud support, you can track your iPad wherever it’s at (if it’s 3G or when it connects to Wi-Fi) which may just help you find a lost or stolen device one day.
Dropbox – You probably already use Dropbox on your computer and your smartphone, so this is one app that you will want to download right away so that you can have access to all of your important files, photos, and videos anywhere you are as long as you have a Wi-Fi or 3G connection. You can use it to share photos, documents, and videos with friends and clients, no matter where they’re located.
Google Earth– This works just like Google Earth on the web, but it looks so much cooler in tablet form with touchscreen controls. Fly to far corners of the planet with just the swipe of a finger and explore high-resolution imagery of over half the world’s population and a third of the world’s landmass using images taken from global satellites.
Dragon Dictation – Dragon Dictation is a well-known and easy to use voice recognition app that allows you to speak your text or email messages. Using the iPad’s keyboard isn’t always the easiest task, especially for longer documents and messages, and those add-on keyboards can be pretty expensive. With this app, you can bypass both of those problems and dictate your information to your iPad using just your voice. This app supports a multitude of languages.
Gmail- Speed, better search functions, and color-coded threading make the standaloneGmail iPhone app preferable to the built-in Mail app (where you can access Gmail). The Gmail app for iOS 4 and later, made by Google, gives users another choice for managing email. It allows iPhone users to decide what they value in an email app. Do you value search capability over text displayed at readable sizes? Is it more important for your various email accounts to be managed in one app, as Mail arranges them, or would you rather have a dedicated app just for Gmail that looks more like Gmail on the web, with color-coded threading? The Gmail app searches your entire email so much easier and faster than the pre-installed Mail app.
Evernote- This free, straightforward note-making app outrivals most
competing apps thanks to its strong search capabilities and effortless organization.

WhatsApp Messenger- The WhatsApp Messenger should be on your list of apps to download. It's a cross-platform smartphone messenger that uses 3G/EDGE or Wi-Fi when available to deliver messages, and it uses push notifications to alert you to incoming messages.
Twitter- For a long time, Dozens of third parties developed twitter apps, however,not all the resulting apps were worth using. So when Twitter released its official app and it worked well and loaded quickly! If you tweet, it's a no-brainer to have this app.
