Max Journal - Diary but you can also add photos so it very useful. Its the only diary i have ever kept going.

Atomic Browser - Whilst it might be slightly slower than safari it includes so many options including private browsing and its the only browser that properly works as Internet Explorer. Also includes ad blocking by default.

Zite - Best news reader. It comes in a magazine format and learns as you read, the more topics you gives the thumbs up to themore of that content you will get.. I have discovered so much thanks to this and you can share articles directly on twitter / facebook.

Web Albums - A must if you have a piscasa account. It not only allows you to upload photos but also manage your picasa account from your ipad.

OK so lets just look at the legal reasons why you need to Jailbreak your Ipad 1..

3. Color Mail Labels - If you have more than one email account and use the "All Inboxes" view this colors messages from different accounts so you can easily see which mails come from where.
4. ScollingBoard - This allows you to have upto 7 icons in your dock as well as have dock that has unlimited pages so you can put your common icons in your dock it will also allow you to put more icons in a folder that apple does.
5. Retina Pad - Ever installed iphone / ipod apps on your ipad and noticed they look poor well Retina Pad will make then look crisp and clear.
6. Pull to refresh mail - Allows you to pull the screen down to refresh email like in other apps.
7. FolderEnhancer - Allows you to put folders in folders (For example you could have one games folder with Platform where all your platform games are and one for your racing games etc).
