We know that most tech lovers are probably getting ready to welcome Apple’s new tablet, iPad 3. However, we figure there may be people out there who still don’t own a tablet, so we made a brief comparison for them between two of the most popular devices at present: Apple’s iPad 2 and Amazon’s Kindle Fire.
Comparisons between the two tablets are almost impossible, given that they address two different categories of customers. Kindle Fire is sold at a much lower price than its Apple rival because it cannot equal the specifications of the latter tablet.
iPad 2 was designed for people who use tablets to create files and folders and not just read books and watch movies. That is why Apple’s device was endowed with a 10” screen, whereas Amazon limited its touchscreen to 7” only. There is a drawback, as well, because the big display makes it impossible for owners to hold the iPad in one hand. As a result, people who are constantly on the road may choose to purchase Kindle Fire.
There aren’t many things you can do with Amazon’s device because the tablet was mostly created as a means to promote the online products of the e-commerce company.Even so, it can successfully fulfill the requests of an average tablet user who wants to read books and access multimedia files. The affordable price is reason enough to determine people to forget all inconveniences and opt for Kindle instead of Apple’s expensive tablet.
Although its dimensions make it a little bit impractical, the iPad tablet has all it takes to make a reliable road companion. In fact, it has been provided with a front and a rear camera, so you can snap pictures and share them on the Internet, irrespective of your location. Moreover, the battery of the Apple device lasts for 10 hours, that is, two hours more than an Amazon Kindle battery would.
To sum up, both tablets are great as long as customers know what their needs really are. Kindle Fire is the perfect option for those who want a convenient device to store and access e-books, whereas iPad 2 is more appropriate for tech-savvy people.
