Both products sport Wi-fi and 3G access; both lack external media support allowing each to remain on equal ground. However, the ability to compare iPad and Kindle 3 almost ends there.
Price
The first difference to point out is the price since for many, the price is an issue. As of October 2010 the Kindle 3 is $189 whereas the cheapest iPad is $499.
Resourcefulness - The iPad
- While the iPad delivers more in terms of versatility of what you can do such as playing games and accessing email, the variation of the games available are restricted to those that do not use flash (which many games support).
- Furthermore, the iPad currently does not support the installation of applications that you may have already downloaded to your iPhone or iTouch.
- Working much like an e-reader the iPad does not carry the same compact size that the Kindle is praised for. That is why it is necessary to further compare iPad and Kindle 3.
Resourcefulness - Kindle 3
- The Kindle is supported by Amazon's wide, in depth, base accessing books, blogs and newspapers from around the world.
- You can also view pictures and play mp3s.
- It can store up to 3,500 e-books (not including the download of music or pictures).
- The user interface of the Kindle appears rather simple though some may contend that aesthetically it could be improved.
To some Apple fans to compare iPad and Kindle 3 is a no-brainer. With the size of the iPad decreasing portability and the lack of versatility for the Kindle 3, it's necessary to consider the realization that getting an iPad is almost similar to getting another laptop. In the end, Kindle 3 can meet your needs without replacing or infringing on your laptop use.
