Animation for the iPad?

I have been thinking of buying an iPad. For one thing, I will be giving a presentation on iPad and iPhone4 video editing with iMove this May, and I might want to brush up on that instead of borrowing the one iPad we have floating around the office.

Second, I am thinking of using the iPad as a tool, sorta like a laptop but more portable.

So, thinking along those lines, I have thought of what exactly I would want my iPad to do. Here are some apps I am thinking of (mainly for myself to remind me of what I had in mind.
