Free stuff wot costs money from Apple

Paying for putty - no thanks.

But the IPAD was supposed to be an IFAD

So why are so many companies producing tablets and software?? whats going on ????

I thought no one would buy this thing becuase it sounded like a sanitary product??

Tee hee

I hate the proliferation of idiot apps as much as anybody, but the last one linked to made me laugh - "Fart works soundpad HD".

Needless to say it will never grace the flash memory of my iPad.

First commenter has it right

I don't see a single revolutionary or needed application here. In fact all the ones that seem to be useful, have freeware equivalents for both Linux and Windows, that seem to offer better functionality. Oh and then you get the Apple store privilege of paying for these crummy apps.

Register must have been part of the sucker crowd that bough this ridiculous $800 device, that won't let you even edit file names, and are now tying to make themselves feel better about their misguided purchase?

I believe what silince meant is: These are the equivalent of FREE apps on other systems. Why would anyone be dumb enough to pay for them?

iCrap

119 applications you dont really need, that can be done on 119 other things if you didn need them

I'm getting sick of

some clueless moron wrote about iCrap for "Geek".

The true geek, or often referred to as the "ultimate geek" would at least have some self respect. No self respect geek would ever touch any iCrap.

The first thing any true geek would do, is to be the boss. A true geek will never accept someone else tells him/her what he/she can do.

still not iSSH

You mention pTerm and yet still no mention of iSSH. If you haven't done a review of it yet, then seriously do yourself a favour and give it a go. Try running X clients over ssh from it. It's the beezneez
