Further to previous thread (hints and tips appreciated), I pulled the trigger on a 32gb iPad 4 yesterday. It felt weird (not in a good way) laying out that much cash on something that doesn't have strings on it, I have to say, but I have it now, so want to get the best out of it.
So - first question is how to I get it to 'share' the apps I already have on my iPhone, if that's possible at all?
After that what do you fellers recommend - in terms of free and paid for apps (I conveniently have a £25 iTunes card somewhere)?
Are there any neat cheats to downloading films and programmes on the free or cheap? I've already got BBC iPlayer on it but that's limited.
Any must-have gadgets/peripherals?

A guitar interface of some shape, size and colour.
iRig is a perfectly good place to start, and cheap.
JamUp Pro is a great jamming/practising/recording app with loads of emulated amps/fx.
Guitar Pro.
Garageband (of course).
Amazon cloud player if you've bought any music, ever, from Amazon in any form at all.
The Kindle app is most useful for reading books n stuff.
Check what access you can get to your favourite papers/mags.
Figure & Launchpad (free, IIRC). Launchkey (ditto).
Whatever app of choice for "work" stuff - QuickOffice Pro is what I use, but it's not cheap (by app standards)
Goodreader. Multi-functional, multi-useful.
Games. There are a millions of them.
Game: The Room.
Just buy it. Now.

Football is rubbish.
Avoid the iRig - I bought one and found it too noisy. I'm currently using a Line 6 Sonic Port which works with Garage Band and the free Line 6 app which cames with 32 amps and effects, a jamming tool and thousands of presets ... http://uk.line6.com/sonicport/
Or look at the IK Multimedia iRig HD ... the Amplitube amps are more expensive but it has a Custom Shop in which you can buy specific amp models and effects. Amplitube has the beest amp and effects sims for the iPad. http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irighd/?gclid=CLTQuIKmmLkCFcbLtAodzQQAeg
iTunes for music and film rental.
True Fire was some cheap decent guitar lessons
Newstand for magazines
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Thanks fellas - wisdom clickys done all round - loads for me to get on with...
I'll deffo get the Kindle thingy as Mrs Toot has one and an aunt of mine gave us about 400 shonky books that she gets from some shady source, complete with typos, etc...
