Don't have any iOS components, but an app that is available for the iOS platform that I'm hoping for soon on Android is movieguide lite... Works off the website to have the family value ratings in the palm of your hand...

Yes. The one by connex is the one I am currently using.
I am using it now! This is a lot easier than hiiting the HTML button and fighting the editor. Thank you,

Mail - great for following my yahoo and gmail accounts
GoodReader - maintain folders with MS Word, and pdf books organized by project
iBooks - for reading mainly free books like Tozer from the web
Logos - keep a small collection offline for times when I get stuck without wifi
Maps - plan short and long trips; great for street view
UniSudoku - free sodoku app - spend far too much time on this, but I play while I am listening on the iPod
MOST USED APPLICATION by far:
iPod - iPod - iPod!!!! --- ButI have NO purchased music. (I just haven't bothered.) What I do have is something which is usually overlooked by everyone I know who owns an iPad or Ipod Touch; i.e., iTunesU!
iTunesU, which is a store within iTunes, is populated with content by over 100 Universities including Reformed Theological Seminary (RTS), Dallas Theological Seminary, Concordia, MIT, Stanford, UC Berkely; etc., etc., etc.
Most of the storage on my iPad is consumed by this type of content. And don't forget the Podcasts! Everything I am going to mention is FREE!
THE CONTENT:
I have listened to over 50 lectures on Church History from RTS alone in preparation for my Church History Sunday School class. RTS has Ronald Nash, J.I. Packer, and Dr. Donald Fortson III. J.I. Packer lectures on the Puritans. I bet you didn't even know that was one of his academic specialties.
I found a complete video course (161 lectures) on Biblical Greek from Concordia University presented by Dr. James W. Voelz. I actually prefer the lecturer on Greek from Dallas, but for some reason the Dallas guys kept the camera on the lecturer and totally ignored the slides and board.
I found a 118 lecture series by Wayne Grudem covering the content of his Systematic Theology text. He gave the lectures at Scottsdale Bible and can be downloaded for free using iTunes or the web. However, use iTunes for organization purposes. 118 mp3 files with numeric names is no fun at all.
I mention MIT, Stanford, and Berkley in order to broaden the scope. I use content from these sites in order to keep my electrical engineering degree current and investigate current trends in computer technology. You should be able to find content in most academic disciplines.
THE PROCESS:
Download from iTunes directly onto your iPad /iPod Touch or download using iTunes on your PC.
For driving I start the audio content, then place the iPad on the dash directly in front of me with the speaker pointed at me. There is enough gain to cover road noise. It is much better content than most radio programming. If one episode completes, then the next will usually start all by itself. My wife and I will be taking a road trip in September. I have an inexpensive FM transmitter which can be picked up by my car radio. This is necessary for both of us to be able to hear due to the low volume of the iPad speakers.
If you are around other people, bluetooth headphones work great. I purchased mine so that I could listen to iPod audio while I work around the pool and outside the house where noise is a factor.
iTunes content can be listened to on your PC using the free iTunes application from Apple. I also just purchased ( < $4 ) iSyncr for my Android phone. This allows my phone to sync with my iTunes playlists. ALL of the above content is now also on my smart phone as well as my iPad!

Flashcards Deluxe by OrangeorApple.com is a great and easy way to memorize Greek and Hebrew.
If you own Beginning Biblical Hebrew by Mark Futato (included in Original Languages, Gold, Platinum, Portfolio) there are free pre-made flashcards through the app by way of Flashcard Exchange for the first 36 chapters of the book.
Bruce Metzger's frequency lists from his Lexical Aids book is also available for free in through the app by way of Flashcard Exchange.
The only downside to this app would be if you had to input all your language information manually as it can take a while.

1. Splashtop - enables you to take remote control of your desktop or laptop... In the UK, the app was free, but now costs a couple of pounds (it is considerably cheaper than the alternatives).
2. Instapaper - allows you to 'save' webpages (from desktop, iPhone and iPad) for offline reading.
3. Reeder - RSS reader.
4. Empire - a movie magazine, a brilliant example of how magazines should look on the iPad.
5. The Times
6. British Library - Treasures HD and British Library - 19th Century Books
7. Guardian Eyewitness
8. Pages
9. BBC iPlayer
10. Logos and Vyrso app... obviously!

One new one for me that I have to add is SoftSign. I've been using it a lot in the last few days, as it let's me annotate and sign PDF documents. This has completely changed the way I do some work. It's great as Ive been away from home and documents that need my signature sent to me.
Where I get sent Word docs instead of PDFs I've also found the Save2PDF to be useful too, as I can use the OpenIn function on the iPad to send the .doc to Save2PDF, convert it and then sign it in SoftSign and then export the PDF to email for returning.
Been a life saver this past week, with correspondence from accountant, solicitor and university flooding my inbox.

Got my iPad2 this week. Logos was my #1 reason for buying it and was my first install.
Outside of Logos, what apps do you find most useful?
My iPad2 was a gift from my church
and my #1 app is Logos. I never carry a paper Bible anymore, and the ability to compare versions while listening to a sermon, or parse a Greek definition, or scan a favorite commentary on a device far smaller and lighter than my giant print Bible is awesome. I also frequently use LogMeIn to control a desktop/laptop running a PowerPoint presentation while I'm teaching/preaching.
Like others here I frequently use the iPad2 as an electronic book reader and GoodReader, Kindle, Nook, and Vryso apps are excellent (I've owned a real Kindle and Nook (both gifts), and had no need for either after I got the iPad2). Additionally, I find myself using Infinity Blade (when I simply HAVE to kill something and enjoy beautiful graphics while I do so), Netflix, The Weather Channel app, Pandora, yelp, FighterVerse (outstanding scripture memorization tool), and Medscape.
