Furniture retailer Pottery Barn's efforts were among the new iPad applications reviewed by BNet blogger Lydia Dishman.

Dishman noted that despite the iPad's selling a million devices in 28 days, half the time it took the ballyhooed iPhone to reach that level, retailers have been slow to adapt to the iPad.

In her blog, Dishman called The Gap's 1969 Stream app, which includes a store geo-locator and mobile-to-mobile discounts, a "home run."

eBay's iPad app got a "single" designation.

Pottery Barn's app, however, got a "swing and a miss" since the application only duplicates the furnishings retailer's catalog.
