How’s the app store?
A.Fortunately, Apple made the iPad section of the app store available to reviewers before it officially opens on Saturday. (Often, you can identify the iPad versions of apps — that is, ones specifically designed for the larger screen — by the misleading initials HD in their names.) A lot of these apps are really incredible; even old iPhone apps, when rewritten for the iPad’s bigger screen, take on a whole new life. They tend to cost more, though. Looks like iPad apps will cost $5 or $10, rather than the $1 or $2 for iPhone apps. Of course, there will still be plenty of free apps, too. Some of these will be sold as “universal” apps. That is, for one price, you get one app that works appropriately on either the iPad or the iPhone/Touch.
