Decentralized Applications = Vaporware?

[Arrakeen]

Am I the only one (besides hitler) who is amazed that people truly believe ETH produces functional/useful/innovative 'dapps'?

Their OFFICIAL dapp page is just filled with links to horribly designed web 2.0 sites, which provide services that can be (and might be) made with any run-of-the-mill programming language.

ETH DAPP PAGE

For example, I'll click some links:

• Proof of phone - Submit your number and it ties to an ETH address (who uses this for verifying users?). For a low service fee of .1 ETH! Innovation!
• Ether Digger - Took 15 seconds to load.  Ponzi scheme.
• Ethereum Games - Site appears to be from 1995.  Ponzi scheme.
• Eth Sports - Site is down.

How exactly is 'running on Ethereum' special? I'm genuinely curious, because the idea is great.  But this isn't it.

how about "speed"? can these decentralized applications run with network speed where people can utilize it and won't complain?. In real world applications, not just some geek techno toys.
