There are key essentials for IPad that make the device... potentially... a replacement for laptops.

iMovie
Garageband
Pages
Keynote
Numbers
do the spreadsheets, presentation, Word Processing, music creation and Film Making functions that make the IPad an incredible device.  The Apps that can then be bought as Add-Ons just continue to make the Value for Money argument.  Make sure that your IPads/Ipods have as much network integration as possible... so that Internet can be accessed, photos and resources can be shared, etc.

Other Key Apps:
Dropbox - allows you to share docs around the IPad/IPod network.  This can be done wirelessly through your settings... so that if (for instance) a pdf is dropped into one Dropbox it is picked up automatically in all the Dropboxes throughout the system.

Strip Design

BBC iPlayer

Blurb Mobile

Marvel Comics

The list of Apps, of course, goes on and on and on.  Apps that some people favour, others don't.  The key is to play with them and look for the educational relevance for your children, your setting.
