With less than a week to go before the iPad launches, previews of apps destined for the device are starting to pour in.

The Pinball looks like a pretty sweet outing, combining three of Gameprom’s iPhone pinball games — Jungle Style Pinball, The Deep Pinball and Wild West Pinball — into one iPad offering. It’s said to include:
Different camera modes: stable picture of the “whole table” and agile camera, which follows the ball in the game with automatic zoom in significant places
- Realistic physics
- Camera tilt
- Anaglyptographic (3D) stereo effect
- Local and global high scores
- 3-ball multiball mode
- Ability to shake the pinball table, with an acceleration indicator so you don’t “tilt”
MacStories got hold of shots of a number of iPad apps: OmniGraffle, $49.99; Yahoo! Entertainment; Bento, $4.99; and Brushes, $9.99. Most of these are more expensive than their iPhone equivalents, so I hope they pack in extra-content for the increase in price.
