Tablets have become the latest "must have" gadget to own, and for
good reason. They are light-weight, extremely portable, easy to use and
visually awesome!
The Amazon Kindle Fire hopes to appeal to both new and established tablet owners. The Fire has already pre-sold an estimated 250,000 units in just the first five days of being launched. Evaluated against other well-known tablets, Fire is holding its own.
With so many tablets available on the market, let's do a Kindle Fire Tablet comparison.
How Does The Fire Stack Up Against The Other Tablets?
The most well-known tablet by far is the Apple iPad. So for this report we'll focus on how Fire compares specifically to the iPad. It should be noted that coming in a close second are tablets running Google's Android operating system. This is important to note as Fire also runs on the Android Platform.
How Fire Compares To The iPad Visually
iPad has a large 10 inch display compared to Fire's 7 inch display Recent rumors suggest Amazon will be selling a 10 inch version of Fire just in time for the holiday season. Both are easy to navigate and both offer users stunning screen resolution. Of course, when it comes to streaming video Fire has an advantage. iPad does not support flash...Kindle Fire does. Many games and video on the web require flash in order to be played or viewed.
Compared To The iPad How Does Fire Stack Up When It Comes To Features?
When it comes to "cool features and the wow factor" so far nobody surpasses the Apple iPad. But with consumers trying to save money wherever they can these days, they are willing to go without a few extra features if it means cost savings.
The Fire does not have a camera or the ability to do video chats. You can with the iPad. Another, feature is the iPad's ability to connect using 3G. The Fire does not have 3G capability, you must have access to a wi-fi network in order to get online.
User Experience And Content
Compared to iPad the Kindle Fire tablet is very easy to use. Even first time tablet owners will find the interface intuitive and easy to figure out.
Both Fire and iPad give users access to an almost unlimited amount of content. Fire of course gives users access to Amazon.com's e-books, movies, television shows and games. Both give users thousands of apps as well.
Kindle Fire vs Apple's iPad When It Comes To Price
Price is clearly where Amazon's Fire beats Apple's iPad by a couple of miles! Fire is priced at $199.00. The iPad is priced between $499.00 and $699.00. Any way you look at it, that's a huge advantage when it comes to consumers. The economy has many tightening their purse strings. But the appetite for new innovative technology seems to be healthy in spite of the economy. There's no denying that $199.00 price tag makes the Kindle Fire a really "hot" buy. (Sorry couldn't resist that!)
So there you have it. The Kindle Fire compared to the iPad could be an excellent choice depending on whether or not certain features are a must have for you. If you prefer the "extras" from iPad and don't mind the much higher price tag, then maybe that's a better option.
But if cost is the deciding factor for you, and you can do without some of the frills offered by the iPad... based on the Kindle Fire Tablet comparison shown here...Fire wins hands down!
The Kindle Fire won't be available until November 15th, but you can pre-order from Amazon. Judging on the high number of pre-orders already made, Kindle Fire could turn out to be one of the biggest most sought after items this holiday season.
