ParalegaliPad: Load Up Your iPad with Freebie Nonlegal Apps

By Lynne DeVenny

All rightee then, so you busted open your piggy bank to score your very own iPad, and now you're too broke for lattes and iPad apps. Not to worry, Starbucks will somehow manage to survive without your daily visit (for a while) and there are plenty of great free apps to download.

Here are the free nonlegal apps I've downloaded so far:

eReaders
iBooks (beyond gorgeous e-reader but dud of a book search unless you know the title/author)
Amazon Kindle (terrific book search)
Stanza

News
AP (Associated Press)
USA Today
Thomson Reuters News Pro
NPR
Fluent News Reader
fwix ("hyperlocal" news)

Cloud
Evernote
Dropbox

Assorted but Useful
FeeddlerRSS (a Google Reader client)
TweetDeck
PCalcLite (calculator)
Dictionary.com
iPDF
SundryNotes (PDF annotation)
Textfree (TXT MEEEEE! on my iPhat)
NYTimes Crosswords
IMDb
Wikipanion

Way Too Much Fun
Granimator (art tool & loud wallpaper creator)
Backgrounds HD
Doodle Buddy
Epicurious Recipes & Shopping List (The description says, "What helps even more is that you can then email the ingredients to yourself or your maid..." Note to self: Get maid.)
Pandora

My Personal Fave
Pocket Pond (Finally the koi pond I've always wanted - without the fish ca-ca :)

Got a free iPad app you'd recommend? A post about free legal apps is coming. Now I have to decide what I'm willing to spend for other apps that would be helpful to a paralegal (or my boss if I let him hold iPhat).
