Apple's iPad has a huge 9.7" LED backlit widescreen Multi-Touch display with 1024 x 768 resolution, great performance and 1GHz Apple A4 processor, but its real potential lies in the wide variety of apps that you can download and enjoy. iPad apps are here, alive and kicking, and although they are more expensive than iPhone or iPod Touch apps, there are some that are worth the fuss of downloading them. Especially, when it comes to lifestyle apps, there are some excellent iPad apps that you should definitely have on your iPad because they are innovative, offer value and feature quality interface design.

Here are the top-5 lifestyle iPad apps of 2010:
