Trying to delete apps...hold and the x doesn't show up

I just got an ipad and have had an iPhone. I know how to delete apps and its not working. I don't need e-trade and all this junk on there. Can't delete them. Any idea why.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.3)

Apps included with the OS can not be deleted. Best advice is to move them to a folder, name it "Unused" move the unused folder to the last page.

So you say you have pressed on one of the app icons then held your finger down on the icon but they never start to wiggle? Is this only so for the original apps but for any app?

If nothing is wiggling then I suggest you try resetting the device by connecting to your computer, opening iTunes, select your device, click on the Summary tab in the iTunes main window, then click on the Restore button.
