iPad learning/homeschool apps?

[LBW]

So, my ILs just left after a 2 weeks stay and took their iPad with them. We miss it, and I'm considering buying one for the family.

So, if you have one, and you let your kids use it, what are your favorite educational apps? My boys are 3, 5, and 8, so I'm looking for a good mix.

Thanks!

Coin Crazy and Coin Math are two I used with my DS1 a while back (on the iPod Touch, I assume they have an app for the iPad).

Kids Can Learn States

Learn Time

I don't know as much about the two above. We haven't used them all that much.

My First Tangrams is another DD likes. Fingerpaint is good for practicing drawing letters.

Unblock Me is a little like Rush Hour.

eta: I haven't shopped apps in a long time so this is probably not all that helpful. The coin ones are pretty good though.

Another vote for Stack the States, we also love Stack the Countries and Presidents vs. Aliens by the same developer.
Also:
National Geographic Geo Bee
Math Ninja
TricTrac
Art Puzzles HD
Bluster
Boggle
Mad Libs
Simple Physics
Blokus
Doodle Find
and a host of not-so educational games :)

Thanks, everyone! Lots of these are available as iPhone apps, so I'm going to try them out. I may hold out until Christmas for the iPad. Or maybe not. ;)
