Kindle Fire vs iPad 2

Kindle Fire v's iPad 2

The Kindle Fire is due out November 15th 2011, so what is the difference between the Kindle Fire v's iPad 2.

Well apart from the large price point variation you will be pleased to know the Kindle Fire has alot of features that compare well with the iPad 2.

The Kindle Fire is for people who still wants the feel of an iPad without the price. You aren't necessarily loosing a ton of features with the KindleFire. You can still download apps, surf the web, have multimedia, and much more. The consumer looking for a great money saver or the parent wanting a tablet for her child will benefit greatly from the Kindle Fire.
Price

The obvious winner in this category is the Amazon Kindle Fire. The Kindle Fire is around $300 cheaper than the Apple iPad 2. This makes it an edge over not just the iPad 2, but also its competitors. Despite implementation of flash and better camera quality compared to the iPad 2, most iPad competitors usually don't focus on having price point as a competing point. Most competitors usually have their tablets priced at or even above the price of the iPad 2. This signals that even if the Kindle Fire doesn't get to the level of the iPad 2, it'll at least win over customers who would have considered one of the other competitors.

Storage

The iPad 2 wins on the subject of storage. The Amazon Kindle Fire only offers users with 8GB of storage. The iPad 2 notably has several options from 16GB to 32GB. However, one feature that gets forgotten is that Amazon has an ample amount of storage from its cloud system. This in return makes the storage capabilities a lot larger than the iPad 2.

Features

Along with storage, Amazon Kindle Fire lacks several features found in the iPad 2. The Amazon Kindle Fire doesn't have a camera. This may seem like a minor problem at first, but once you see the reach of the problem, you may find it even a deal breaker. Since the iPad 2 has a camera, it has the ability to have FaceTime and other video chatting services; the Kindle Fire couldn't do this. Also, you'll be stuck to surfing at home due to the fact that 3G capabilities aren't found on the Kindle Fire.
