An alternative web browser to Safari is "Atomic Web" ... A 99c app that is noticeably faster than Safari, enables true tabs for new pages, and allows color scheme customizing.

Not an app, but an accessory I bought is a Jensen iPad docking station. I found it at Target on sale for $59, regularly $79. Has much improved speakers, a nice tilt and swivel that that let's you position the tablet in just about any direction ... Horizontal, vertical, and typing mode. The docking does the battery recharge. It has a video out port that let's you hook up iPad to a TV to show YouTube, streaming Netflix videos.

I use it on my desk when I'm multitasking between the iPad and my desktop. Vertical is great for ereading

Some buts... It does require a plug, not battery operated. The iPad has to be removed from any case or cover to insert it into the dock.

Here's a link to the product on buy.com, $63, no tax, and free shipping, so about what I paid at target.
