I’m a productivity fanatic. I enjoy wasting my life away reading and researching ways to make my life more efficient. Productivity was the first category of apps I browsed into when the iPad apps became available in the app store.
These are the apps I highly recommend you try out first if you’re a productivity pornstar too.

Multitask $2.99 (iTunes App)
App that slots a neat little rss reader in a sidebar of a browser so you can get your news fix while your browse the web. Of course you could probably use the first app in this list but there’s something about having an app built for a specific task that rubs me the right way.
