ultimate travel apps for iPad

The iPad will give us access to the web anytime, anywhere, and although that should make it that much easier to browse through online food and restaurant guides while on the go, why not have apps that not only visually guide you through an area, but allow video samples of the atmosphere to expect -- or even a quick tour of the kitchen -- as well as easy online reservations, and direct access to a GPS-guided mapping system.
With a multimedia device in your hands, a handy translator app should be a snap. More than just a text translator, make it visual -- show them what you want -- and have a catalogue of image galleries to access (for example, a sushi gallery to place an order at a restaurant).
We'll have a proper book reader and some sort of magazine support, but what that big iPad screen is truly begging for is a manga reader. More than just a great way to read an entire 20-volume series in one go, the app should support quick switches between languages, so you can see just how those visual Japanese sound effects really should look like.
Going one step further than the current audio tours -- like the Tokyo Realtime series -- let's have full multimedia content that enhances the neighborhoods that you are visiting, like video interviews with locals, and GPS tracking to ensure you're on the right track.
Give us the ultimate positional-aware social networking app, where friends pop up on screen whenever they are in the area, and updates and recommendations (or warnings) about your current location are streamed as you scope the place.
