Top Ten iPad apps for Business:
We could have duplicated the top ten business apps for iPhone here, as nearly all of the top ten iPhone apps have iPad versions – but we do recommend that you download these apps on to your iPad anyway. But instead we've opted for the ten business apps that make best use of the high-resolution screen.
1/ Todo for iPad
Todo for iPad is a work planner that will keep you on top of all your projects and plans and uses the large screen to give even more clarity to your task list. Todo also allows you to sync your work planner across any other Apple devices via iCloud, or to other devices using Todo Online, Dropbox, iCal and Outlook.

Hootsuite is the Swiss army knife of social networks. It allows you to view and participate in all of your social networks with just one interface.
Hootsuite allows you to see who's saying what on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and on other social networks. You can make posts to multiple networks, add pictures, check your popularity with its' built in analytics, and create short URLs.

3/ Penultimate
The large screen on the iPad compared to the iPhone and the new high-res screen on the iPad 3 just invites you to draw on the device, and with Penultimate you can do just that.
Penultimate is the closest you can get to having a pen and paper on the iPad. With it you can take notes, keep sketches, or share your next breakthrough idea - in the office, on the go, or home on the sofa.
Penultimate can manage as many notebooks as you can create, each with an infinite number of pages. View your list in a notebook carousel - or sort and scroll in a fast grid view. When your notebooks get large, you can browse quickly through all pages, or insert, delete, duplicate, and reorganise pages within and between notebooks.

Choose from over 250 easy-to-use functions. Enter data and explore results with sliders, steppers, pop-ups, and intelligent keyboards. Numbers works with iCloud, so your spread sheets stay up to date across all your iOS devices — automatically. And the Retina display on the new iPad makes everything you do in Numbers even more brilliant.
