Ian, do forgive me if I'm asking too basic a question, but how would I know what to install and what not to install?

You need to be aware though that, in order to get apps you have to have an iTunes account. Even for free apps you are requited to give your user name and password for iTunes before being able to download them. Something else you should do if you're using the latest operating system, known as IOS7 is to go into settings and turn off automatic updates.. Doing this means that you will then be able to know when individual updates become available and exercise the option of whether or not to instal them.
