FirePlace is just that, a fireplace. Nothing more and nothing less. Well, maybe a little more. It includes real-life sounds to help it emulate a real fireplace. There’s also a button to turn on/off classical background music that plays while the fire roars.
This isn’t anything special, but it is great if you leave your device plugged into a dock a lot and would like to add a little soothing background noise while you work, check email, rss, etc.
The image isn’t very crisp or bright. . .I think there could be a better way to utilize the high resolution screen, but it doesn’t look bad or anything. They should also let you really turn the volume louder. I had to turn it up all the way just to really hear the crackling of the fire.
