From the publisher: Google Currents delivers beautiful magazine-like editions to your tablet and smartphone for high speed and offline reading.
James: Though I prefer Flipboard, mostly for the layout, one feature I like about Google Currents is that news is updated continuously, even while you read, and the "trend" feature gives a nice, efficient look at headlines. Otherwise, get Flipboard.

A must have for a daily notification of temporary free apps. Every so often fee-based apps go on sale and are randomly free. This app collects about 8 to 12 apps and notifies you each day of the free ones. This is an iPhone app so it will show up on your iPad smaller but will work just fine.
RH: Awesome way to get in on free apps. The apps are usually not too expensive and are usually games and trivial ones. Sometimes, there are "keepers." You can try them, keep them, or toss them.
