GREETINGS, NEW IPAD OWNERS. WELCOME TO THE FUTURE!

Here's my app picks:
RSS reader: Reeder - it's by FAR the best. Google reader integration
Twitter: Echofon or Twitterific. I really like Echofon, but Twitterific is free. 
Ebooks: iBooks is great, does pdf well, free. Kindle is good too, if you buy things from amazon
General file stuff: Good reader is as close as you will get to "explorer/finder" on the ipad. It's not bad, horrible, horrible ui, but very useful. can display and store any filetype the ipad can natively handle and more. dropbox integration, also lets you download arbitrary stuff from urls and store it. 
Dropbox: integrates with your dropbox account. very nice 
Comic books: Comic Zeal is very nice, you can convert your pdfs for it, and it natively works with cbr/cbz files which you can sync from your desktop
