iPad apps: A sneak peek

Here's a quick look at what to expect in the coming weeks once iPad-specific apps begin rolling into the iTunes App Store

Book Readers

Despite the absence of an e-ink screen, the iPhone proved to be a popular device for e-reading, and the iPad promises to be a popular e-book device as well. Apple has decided to allow for vigorous e-book competition on the iPad by shipping the device without Apple's iBooks application. Instead, iPad owners will get to choose between Apple's application, and those from competing booksellers.

To show off its tablet plans, Amazon recently launched a new Web page on its site detailing the Kindle app for "Tablet Computers including the iPad." Barnes & Noble is also coming out with an iPad application, and Oceanhouse Media plans on bringing the works of Dr. Seuss onto the iPad as it has done with the iPhone, according to Just Another iPad Blog.
