Promising iPad Apps: Mixr and iMockups
We've always maintained that the excitement behind the iPad has been the introduction of large screen multi-touch platform rather than a singular Apple-defined purpose. Over the weekend, we revealed that Filemaker's personal database application will be coming to iPad on launch day.
Here are a couple of other promising upcoming iPad apps that we've run across.

Mixr
Mixr is described as the "first ever professional DJ application for iPad." The multi-touch app features cross-fading, equalizing, cue, drang & drop tracks, and full effects such as delays and auto filter.
No word on a release date yet but more details from the developer's site.

iMockups
iMockups offers rapid creation of mock-ups, layouts and wireframes for web, iPhone and iPad projects. Designed for workflow sketches, the iPad-exclusive app includes resizable elements representing various user interface components. A video of the app in action is available here.
Endloop.ca reports that the application has been submitted to Apple already and should be available by iPad launch.

Mixrs turntables look and feel just like real the real thing. To mix your music, all you have to do is touch the vinyl records with your fingers. You can play it, stop it, run it backwards and even control the pitch and scratch! To manipulate the sound, simply rotate the vinyl with your fingers...

DJs are going to be all over apps like this. You will see iPad mixing and scratching in every club.

And just how are these apps better on the iPad than a full computer?
I never understand questions like yours, it's not about being better or worse, its just about more options. Don't you like options? Do you always want to sit at your desk, or lug your mac book(pro) around, don't you sometimes just want to travel light, but have similar capabilities? Options man, it's all about the options. :)

the iMockups COULD be cool for a designer who wants to flesh out a quick idea at a client meeting, but at the same time, I don't see many designers who don't have a laptop to take to client meetings. But that app does appear like it would be faster to wireframe up a raw idea than it would be with Photoshop, Fireworks or Illustrator (in theory). Regardless, some of these iPad apps, at least on outward appearances, seem pretty cool. But I don't doubt that there will be just as many useless apps for iPad as there are for the iPhone/Touch. Especially with Flash CS5 about to release and the ability to make iPhone apps (and presumably iPad apps) with it. Not 100% bashing Flash here, I'm just saying that brings more iPhone/Touch/Pad developers into the mix than ever before.

I'm getting really excited! I can't wait to pick up some of these new apps. People are just now getting a taste of what makes the iPad special. The larger screen really is the key to near endless possibilities.
My name is Aaron and I'm an iPad believer.
P.S. Does anyone know if Autodesk's Sketchbook Mobile is coming to iPad? Also can't wait for Distant Suns! And Plants vs Zombies! Ahhhh!!!

The apps will make the iPad.
Mark my words. ;)
Obvious. But how surprising that not everyone understands this.
The iPad will go as far as Apple and developers want to take it. All signs point to full steam ahead.

Laptops don't have a touchscreen.
The iPad will shine when it comes to audio apps. I can't wait to see larger screen versions of things like Bebot... apps that can be used as live instruments. This "mixr" app looks interesting too.
It will also be cool to see what people do with drawing/art apps. The larger touchscreen opens up a world of opportunities.
