iPad is Apple's version of tablet computer that has a flat screen display and a Multi Touch feature. It is an audio-visual device that lets you play music, watch videos, browse through websites, play games, and read books. Aside from its well-known game and entertainment software programs, Apple has created a line of iPad applications especially made for those who are on constant search for the world's best travel destinations.


1000 Ultimate Experiences - Take a look on different places 
View panoramic places and scenic locations using the 1000 Ultimate Experiences Application. This program exhibits captioned photographs of recommended places to visit compiled by Lonely Planet's leading travel authors. It also has videos featuring the amazing trips and activities found around the world.




Kayak HD - Search and book airline flights and hotels
Find the best flight that will take you to your next target travel destination. Kayak HD is an iPad travel application that helps you browse through websites that are offering the best deals on airline flights and tickets. You can check and compare airports, airlines, flight schedules, and prices using the same program. To make things easier, Kayak HD also gives you a list of hotels and car rentals using the Safari browser.





FlightTrack Pro - Get flight status updates
FlightTrack Pro was designed by Ben Kazez of Mobiata, maker of travel mobile applications. Having the same goal, which is to give customers only the best software programs to help them during their travel activities, Mobiata and Apple agreed to have FlightTrack Pro available for download by iPad users. FlightTrack Pro gives you live status updates about your airline's flight schedules, travel itineraries, seat numbers, and flight confirmations. It even alerts you about delayed and canceled flights to make things more convenient for you.

Yelp - Know the business centers around the area
Yelp helps you search for the right business center that offers you exactly what you need during travel trips. It helps you find gas stations, restaurants, shops, cafes, and bars. It also includes photographs, maps, prices, and reviews of different establishments. Afford services of different business centers and leave your own comments, suggestions, and reviews.



Urbanspoon - Explore for the best-tasting food restaurants and cafeterias
Urbanspoon offers you unique features that help you search up to thousands of restaurants in your city. This application gives you a list of food centers, including their locations. Location can be viewed either through a map or a simple text list. Use categories to help you narrow down your search. Food cuisines, special offers, prices, and locations are just some of the categories that you can use when looking for a restaurant.

Google Earth  - View different geographical locations
Google Earth is now available as a downloadable travel application for iPads. Google Earth allows you to learn, explore, and download images of buildings, oceans, architectural structures, and terrains that can be seen around the globe.

  1. I agree, the IPad is more of a toy, but it’s a great toy. There are a few practical uses, for example I was in Europe over the holidays and used a couple translator and a couple Europe-specific GPS apps that were super-helpful. Now, I only mention this because you said you enjoy one of the movie-watching apps…you should check out the TV Everywhere app from DISH…you can watch live TV or DVR off you’re home receiver on your iPad (or phone, laptop, etc) anywhere you have a 3G connection, something U-Verse just can’t offer. I use this a lot, anytime I ride the bus, waiting rooms, lunch break at work (I’m a DISH customer/employee) but I found it amazing when I travelled, really helped kill the time between flights.
