The top 10 free iPad apps I'm dying to try

As my fellow tech blogger Chris Null noted earlier this week, many upcoming
iPad apps are shaping up to be significantly more
expensive<http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/news/ytech_gadg/tc_ytech_gadg/storytext/ytech_gadg_tc1442/35688941/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ytech_wguy/20100331/tc_ytech_wguy/ytech_wguy_tc1397>than
their iPhone counterparts. But a quick glance at the just-unveiled
iPad
app store proves that there are still plenty of enticing freebies to be had.
Get a load of the 10 free iPad apps I'm most eager to install.

*Netflix:* Yep, it's official — Netflix's catalog of streaming movies and TV
shows is indeed coming to the iPad, and it's a free service for Netflix
subscribers. No word about a version for the iPhone (or at least, not yet).

*ABC Player:* Free, ad-supported shows from ABC via Wi-Fi, ranging from
"Lost" and "Grey's Anatomy" to "Dancing with the Stars" and "Extreme
Makeover: Home Edition."

*Tweetdeck for iPad:* This jumbo-sized version of the Tweetdeck iPhone
appis perfect for scanning column after column of live, custom Twitter
searches, along with tweets from your favorite Twitter pals and your latest
"mentions."

*Aurora Feint 3:* An addictive puzzle game with a medieval, RPG twist, the
original Aurora Feint is one of my favorite iPhone time-wasters, and I can't
wait to try its free counterpart for iPad.

*NPR for iPad:* Follow your favorite shows on National Public Radio with
this free, "magazine-style" iPad app, complete with playlist support
and an offline
reader for text stories.

*The Weather Channel Max:* Access full-screen, "in-motion" weather maps,
breaking video news reports, nationwide weather cams, and (of course) your
local forecast.

*Tap Tap Radiation:* From the makers of the best-selling "Tap Tap Revenge"
for iPhone comes this new, iPad-sized rhythm game that "takes users on a
visual ride alongside the beats of each track." The first eight tracks (from
the likes of Serge Devant, Richard Vission, and Mos Def) are included; for
more, though, prepare to pay up.

*AIM for iPad:* Now with a bigger, three-column view, with your active AIM
conversations in one column, your current chat in the middle, and your AIM
buddy list on the right.

*Dragon Dictation:* Can't be bothered to tap out messages? Just fire up
Dragon Dictation, tap the red button, and speak; you can then e-mail your
musings via a pop-up window or browse previously dictated notes in the
left-hand column.

*BBC News:* Breaking news from the Beeb, complete with tappable photo
galleries, full-screen streaming video, and —  best of all — no pay wall.
