iPad will run almost 140,000 apps from the App Store. So you can use all those incredibly fun and useful apps — including everything from games to productivity apps — right out of the box.

140,000 apps. And counting.
The iPad will run almost all of the apps designed for the iPhone. You just download them from the App Store. Or, if you already have apps for your iPhone or iPod touch, you can sync them to iPad from your Mac or PC. Then you can run any of those apps in either their original size, or you can expand them to fill the screen. And developers are working on new apps designed specifically for this amazing new device and all the things it can do.

App Store
If you tap on the App Store icon, it’ll take you to a special section of the Store that has apps specifically designed for iPad. You can also browse through iPhone and iPod touch apps, including entertainment apps, productivity apps, social networking apps, games, and more. And you can buy and download them wirelessly, right from the iPad. No matter what you need, there’s bound to be an app for it.

iWork. Completely reimagined for iPad.
The iWork productivity applications that people know and love on the Mac — Keynote, Pages, and Numbers — have been completely redesigned for iPad. So you can create incredible presentations, word processing documents, and spreadsheets by directly touching the words and images on the large, Multi-Touch screen. And each of these apps has been designed specially for iPad, with completely new features. So while they’re simple and easy to use, they’re also the most powerful productivity apps ever built for a mobile device. They even import iWork ’09 and Microsoft Office documents and allow you to send in iWork ’09 and PDF formats. And because Keynote, Pages, and Numbers will be sold individually on the App Store, you can purchase them all at once, or add them to your iPad over time.

Keynote
With custom graphic styles, elegantly-designed themes, stunning animations and effects, and powerful, new features designed just for iPad, Keynote makes it easy to put the show in slideshow.

Pages
Pages has everything you need to create beautiful documents. Including Apple-designed templates and easy-to-use formatting tools. So putting your words into a stunning layout has never been simpler.

Numbers
Numbers lets you create compelling, attractive, spreadsheets in minutes. With over 250 easy-to-use formulas, an intelligent keyboard, flexible tables, and great-looking charts, the answers will literally be right at your fingertips.
