Chinese iPad question

My friend's dad speaks/reads only Chinese. He loves his iPad for reading news on chinese websites. But when he asked me today if there were Apps that were made in Chinese or geared towards Chinese audiences, I really didn't know of any. Just wanna help make my friend's dad happy

Anyone here Chinese-Chinese and use an iPad? Suggestions? Thanks y'all

Yes. I believe you can do a search on iTunes. Just type your search in Chinese.

Oh, and if your friend's dad didn't know, you can write chinese on the iPhone, so I would assume the same on the iPad.

I didn't say type. You can actually write chinese on the ipad and iphone. I've seen it done and it's pretty cool.
