What was interesting was the automatic light adjustment on the camera(s). Even in pretty dark surroundings, it tried to adapt. Moreso than my other webcams.
Games: Apparently, all developers assume that if you have the disposable income to purchase something as frivolous as the iPad, then you are perfectly willing to buy games without trying them out, first. So the best games - the ones you hear about and see other people playing all the time - are not free. Flight Control, Infinity Blade? None of them even have a demo version? So that's mega-BS, in my book. Down to sudoku and spider solitaire for me.
Productivity: Same issue for productivity software. Even the ones that Apple itself produces. None of it is included, even though they are like: you'll really need this! Better get it!
Actually Good Free Apps:
Video: Netflix, ABC video player, Discovery HD video player, PBS video player, Xfinity (if you have that), Hulu Plus (if you have that)
Games: Harbor Master, Smurf Village (be careful not to buy anything accidentally)
News: Flipbook, CNN, ESPN
======> Still looking for more. The App store is still a giant pile of steaming unhelp, as usual.
Accessories: Here's where Apple really shines. You know how lately, video game critics have been wondering how the Helghast became a society of 100% evil people? This is how. Apple ruled them with a cruel and unmerciful iron fist. Their souls were sucked out of their wallets until they became dark, loveless shells of their former culture. I may be on the 'poor' end of the spectrum, but just looking at some of the prices on those things made me feel like I was being punished for mankind's sins. I want an iPad2, yes. But this is way past what we would term 'nickel and dimed'. Can we call it 'Grant and Franklin'd' ($50 and $100 bill faces)? How about I call it by how it feels: Mugged and then Flogged.
