I currently only have the universal games I had on the iPhone. Would also be 
interested in some strategy/puzzle recommendations for iPad.

I find the keyboard brilliant. Apart from the shear size (more than big enough 
keys - at least in landscape), having shift and modifier keys on right and left 
makes all the difference. It just somehow fits with my unorthodox typing style. 
I'm easily 5 times faster on iPad than iPhone and maybe as much as 100 times 
more accurate.

Do I correctly interpret that to mean that Penultimate is hopeless w/o a stylus 
? (Its on my maybe list.)

iwork.com syncing is working fine for me so far. Will be interesting to see 
what happens with that after the beta phase.

I know its a fair bit more expensive, but Readdle Docs beats GoodReader 
handily.
