"It's two days old, there isn't a lot of software written for it yet. That's not surprising since most developers just got theirs two days ago."
So it's unacceptable that the iPad doesn't come preinstalled with all the things that you expect but it's fine that the Fire can be currently gimped by a lack of third party apps?
The point is that the stuff you were complaining about is available and out there for iOS. Whether it's pre-installed or third-party is pretty irrelevant.
