Johanna, it hasn’t been updated. But I could definitely start thinking about a new, updated version of this post (especially since it was written almost two years ago). What apps would you want to see on a new, updated list?

These Apps sound great. Thanks for sharing the information. I keep hinting to my wife that Santa should bring me an iPad and iPhone, but Santa isn’t listening very well…

I would also recommend a few additional ones:

iAnnotate PDF reader - lets you add notes, highlights, stickies to PDFs. Very useful.

Keynote - for making/tweaking quick presentations. Much less richly featured than a desktop presentation tool, but it's a good tool for getting started or making last-minute edits.

TwoScreens - if you have the VGA dongle, you can connect the iPad to a projector, but most apps actually don't send signal out to that port. It's not true mirroring of what you see on the screen. TwoScreens will let you show things like web pages and any particular album of images on the projector. In a pinch, you can use this and the iPad screenshot trick (home button + sleep button together) to make a quickie presentation/slide deck.

My personal favorite twitter app for iPad is Twittelator, but I'd really love to see a Hootsuite app scaled up to iPad size.

I like HootSuite (even the Lite version) better than Twitteriffic for the iPad, because it lets me monitor my library's Facebook Page, my personal Facebook Profile, and my Foursquare profile from a single interface — although, the interface is a bit smaller than I prefer.
