Reminds me that I need to set Anki up on my iPod Touch. But I suppose an SRS app is a given.

Current lineup
Anki - duh
Daijirin - Best J-J dict
Genius - Best E-J dict
iBunkoHD - For manga and books
I read a lot of books in iBunkoHD and use the built in dictionary for the ipad which is pretty good but when I need something more detailed/professional or when I'm in serious study mode I'll look things up in Genius and Daijirin.

Lot of apps were shared in this thread:
New iPad (iPad 3)
What do I do on my iPad?
Well lately I'm spending lot of time glued to the desktop PC, so my iPad spends more time in a dock. It's sitting to my left, with a bluetooth keyboard. I often have the email app, or a RSS reader, and when I tap the space bar, it wakes up instantly and refreshes the feeds.
When I'm using the PC, I also often listen to music with Track 8.
I sometimes just turn around and check new threads with Alien Blue, a Reddit client, where I follow just a few subreddits of interest.
If I just got up and want to note something and the computer is not on, I might simply send myself an email.
I get notifications as well popping up, from the Google calendar, which is very useful.
I like Google Drive as well, I started using Google Spreadsheets more often lately to take notes. I mark the documents as "offline" in Google Drive app, then I can look them up on the iPad.
Basically, when I'm using the PC it's a second screen with some very useful functionality that removes the need for a lot of alt tabbing.
Get something like AppShopper then favorite the apps you like, and you get a notification now and then when price drops or it goes free.
Oh yeah Podcasts obviously... except it's not that obvious, as you don't get the iBooks and Podcasts apps from Apple installed by default.
I also use Twitter app to follow some streams that don't have RSS.
If you let other people use your iPad and you want a more private space for your favorite photos, PDFs, videos, text files ... things you don't want your colleagues or family or children to mess around, I quite like st@sh. It's very well made.

Are there any apps where you can draw the kanji you don't know and it looks it up? Like if I saw a kanji pair of something that I didn't know could I draw both of them and it would look it up?

I have an app on my Android smartphone that does that, so I would assume that an app like that exits for iPaid too.
