According to Flickr’s stats, there are an average of 36 users per day uploading photos to Flickr from their iPad. Compare this to the over 4000 that upload daily from the iPhone 4 (which is trending toward becoming the most-used camera on Flickr, period), over 3000 that still upload photos from the iPhone 3G, and just under 2000 that upload from the iPhone 3GS per day. In comparison, the iPod touch 4G, which has an identical camera as the iPad 2, gets 455 users that upload to photos to the site per day, which is enough to make it the 5th most popular ‘cameraphone’ on Flickr; stats are not available for the original iPhone on Flickr.
Granted, there is a definite possibility that the numbers are being skewed by Flickr’s userbase; it may skew more toward photography enthusiasts than the casual photo taker, and the iPad 2′s camera is one that few if any serious photographers would actually use. The percentages may likely be higher on Facebook and Twitter photo services, where casual and convenient photos are more prominent than well-prepared shots, where a higher-quality camera would likely be used.
However, what is clear is that iOS users have definite options to upload photos from the phone to Flickr, as shown by iOS cameras being 4 of the top 5 cameraphones on Flickr. The iPod touch’s inferior camera is still popular enough to make it notable among cameraphones on Flickr. The conclusion is that tablets just may not be devices that users consider as regular cameras. iPhones and iPod touches are devices designed to be carried around in users’ pockets, and can be used to take photos when an opportunity arises. The iPad is usually carried around in a case or a bag, and may not be as immediately available for casual photo taking, and its inferior quality camera dissuades taking high-quality shots as well. Apple may have known this and only put a rear-facing camera in for posterity, rather than for actual usability, because no one is using the iPad 2 to take photos.

The product, which appears to be a high tech re-imaging of the sport of tetherball, consists of two players pitted against each other, whacking a tennis ball on a string, as hard as they can. If nothing else, this free game helps give the masses an idea about what the product is like in real life, while allowing potential customers the ability to buy the apparatus for themselves without ever needing to leave the application.

I take a slight issue with the marketing approach that exists within the game, but it's the way free games tend to be. Right now, at least, AR Invaders is free of charge, but firing up the app provides an advertising page for a $0.99 feature that players can purchase. Unfortunately, the minor upgrade provided from the $0.99, a radar upgrade, really amounts to paying to remove the advertisement from the publishers. If the app ever stops being free, I can see this being a serious source of contention for users.

BS: Ricochet is a sort of companion piece to Tyler Projects’ other game, 
It would be nice to claim that those are the only problems here but BS: Ricochet has also slipped-up where it matters most: the physics. In a game based entirely around this concept, it’s amazing to find that the core mechanics feel so rough. Yes, cannon balls are heavy. However, I would still expect that firing one at maximum strength would see it fly much farther than it actually does here. The same goes for the angles and how the ball starts dropping much sooner than it should. All of this makes simply completing most stages a very frustrating game of trial-and-error, never mind attempting to earn the highest rank. I think fiddling with the sensitivity of the shot strength and angles would go a long way toward making the game a lot more entertaining.

The Lodsys in-app purchase drama has just gotten ugly.
