Hi all,
I'm off to the UK for a couple of weeks on Tuesday 22nd. Any apps to keep me amused on the 25 hour flight?!
Cheers

Angry Birds
Fruit Ninja (you can annoy Sandra with this one and challenge her to a head to head!)
Scrabble for iPad HD
Glow Hockey
And if you are feeling mischievous (and at the point they can't kick you off the plane) try some of these out...

Wait till the day our students get a hold of these!!!!
For the price tag accociated with these devices I wouldnt hold your breath. But I could be wrong.
May be a lttle late for this before your trip but I use an add-in to firefox called read-it-later that you can use to "tag" web pages you're interested in but don't have time to read immediately. You can then synchronise your tagged items to your laptop/ipad to read offline. Nice option to be able to synchronise across multiple devices.
There is an iPad-specific app called instapaper which gets mentioned a lot in the "top apps" lists.
There's a TEDTalks app to pick any of those amazingly inspirational presentations they publish every month like Ken Robinson & Salman Khan. I notice there's just been a list published of videos to open the school year.
And don't forget to browse the standard itunes podcast library for audio and video casts that might catch your eye.
Cheers

Other apps - possibly appealing to your problem solving skills:
Siege hero
Super seven - numeracy
Doodle board - sketch the person sleeping next to you
There are also plenty of interesting BBC podcasts - Stephan Fry on language, Infinate Monkey Cage, RadioLab (that one is American)...
Enjoy your trip!
