In Pictures: App wars - Windows 8 Metro vs. the iPad

Microsoft's Metro environment in Windows 8 and Windows RT takes the iPad approach to apps, but is it better?

Photos: iPad wins

Although the Camera app on the iPad is basic, the Photos app is not. On an iPad 2 or later, you can crop, rotate, apply image enhancement, and remove red eye on photos, as well as stream slideshows of your photos via Apple TV or play them on the iPad. And on any iPad you can copy images to photo albums and sync them automatically via the iCloud Photo Streaming feature among your iOS devices, Macs, and PCs.
