Comics recommendations for the iPad / Square credit card reader
I turned 40 and got an iPad2 as a gift. Not a bad deal, if you ask me.
So, Workshoppers: Who here has comics available on iTunes? If I'm gonna jump into digital comics, I might as well start with my friends. (And yes, THE GRAVE DOUG FRESHLEY will be my first purchase.)

It was rather interesting at C2E2, they actually printed out 'we accept visa/mastercard' placards for everyone and placed them on all the AA tables. I guess they figured it was a given that people would be using square. They should really think about entering into a deal with Square and providing the dongles for free with every AA table purchased.
As for Apple charging for the card-readers, Square gives you a credit for that purchase price when you sign up, so it ends up free (give or take sales tax) in the end. Based on my experience in retail, if something's "free" random people will just take it, regardless of whether they have any use for it. Charging a token amount for it makes sure that only people who really have a use for it it will pick it up, which is what Square really wants. Square and Apple probably concluded that $10(refundable) would qualify as "impulse item" for Apple Store shoppers.
I've asked some of you the following question privately, but I'll open the door to everyone: What iPad apps do you find indispensible? Not just for comics, but all areas of life. Games? Airline tracking apps? Restaurant finders? I want to find a good free map/navigational program, like googlemaps, but I haven't found one I liked.
