More than 1 million iPads have been sold in one month. Since they are able to work with most of the 200,000 apps in the Apple App store, it's no surprise that 12 million iPad apps have already been downloaded.
The iPad is fresh on Hong Kong shelves, so it's understandable if you are not sure about which apps to try. It can be a massive hassle trying to find the best ones, so we've compiled a list for your iPad.

ESPN ScoreCenter XL is, hands down, the best app for any sports fan. Featuring access to live action, highlights, video replays, scores and even interviews, the ScoreCenter covers all sports and major events as well as smaller leagues like the NCAA. With the iPad's wireless capability, the app is able to stream live videos and even sports news. It's not free, however, costing US$4.99 - a reasonable price to have sports on the go.
Other, more specialised apps include the NBA's free Game Time: Courtside App, a game companion for live and past games. Much pricier is the US$14.99 At Bat 2010 app from Major League Baseball, well worth the cash if you can afford it. Along with all the standard scoreboards and news, At Bat 2010 offers a virtual battlefield with options to listen to the game's radio broadcast.
