Thread: ipad or kindle ?

This morning my friend was like debating ipad or kindle, but well my point how can u campare two vastly different things ! This is on even on twitter.
ipad is really different from the kindle, they don’t even do the same thing !
yeah agree we wanted a mini macbook but we got an over sized iphone with an ebook reader so comparisons are evitable !
And yeah when there are comparisions amazons kindle loses out big time ! it has good battery life done , is easy on eyes fine but but who wants to carry a single use device which costs around $250 when u can get a lot more for $499 !
Kindle will very soon vanish atleast that’s my guess , well just because it delivers only text based content while the ipad offers everything in colours with a fairly good battery life !
So well I just don’t think there is any contest here if you want to read plus do some browsing play games and other stuff get the ipad ! BTw iam expecting a price cut on the kindle soon !

Kindle = $400
iPAD = $499

Kindle = Read Books only
iPAD = Read Books + lot lot more

Kindle is dead IMO. Its the most gifted product on Amazon as no one wants one lol.

kindle isnt 400$ it cost 259$ !
now decide ?

Apple will always loot 100$+ for any of its applications for its Brand Name.

Recently a news broke that I-PAD real cost wast 275$ << so imagine how much they are taking for the brand power.

Wait for sometime, price might go down, idk much about kindle << so no comments on that.

compare similar products please. Have a look:
$489 kindle

there was some discount the last time i saw it. Anyways, its an easy pick. iPad wins hands down. Even if you take the non 3G version (India does not have 3G as of now anyways) i feel its a far better deal just because you can do so much more. But the iPad does not support flash, which i really hate.

That's not right to say. Did you know, Intel charges $1000 for an extreme processor and it costs only $14 to make one.

Price of RND is not taken into account and that is where the maximum money is spent.
