Amazon, one of the biggest online e-book library and shopping sites in the internet has finally tried its hand in the tablet market. Gradually progressing from a mere e-book reader, it has finally come up with a full-fledged tablet with the Amazon kindle fire. Let us know in detail about these two must have gadgets.

Price:

While the iPad costs $499 for the base model, Kindle fire at $199 costs $300 less than the iPad 2. According to many this is the end of the comparison. But if price does not matter, read on rich boy!

Screen size and weight:

The Kindle fire has a mere 7” screen which may or may not be enough for the average user. However it will suit those who like portability and would like to carry fire in their blazer pockets. Also a mere weight of 14.6 oz won’t feel anything. The iPad on the other hand has a 9.7” screen and weighs 21.28oz.

Screen resolution:

The iPad has a screen resolution of 132 ppi with 16 million colors (Same as a regular laptop). The Kindle fire surprisingly has a higher resolution of 169ppi and the same old 16 million colors. (Can’t someone add one or two more colors?)

Battery life:

A tablet is truly portable only if it has a good battery standby backup. The Kindle although has the smaller screen, lower graphics, lesser number of applications, still it is the one having the lower battery life! With only 7.5 hours of playback time. The iPad on the other hand has a battery life of 10 hours.

Internet browsing:

Amazon Kindle fire uses the silk web browser which is claimed to be faster than other tablet web browsers. However the same is under scrutiny by various tech writers and the results is not as stated. The Safari web browser used by the iPad on the other hand is at par with the Silk as of now.

Additional features:

Both the Amazon Kindle fire as well as the Apple iPad 2 have some features common like- 1 Ghz processors, email, Multitasking, Wi-fi, multi touch etc. However the Apple iPad has mono speakers whereas the Amazon Kindle Fire on the other hand has stereo speakers. Also unlike the iPad 2, the Kindle fires supports flash!

Conclusion:

There were a lot many features common and different between the two tablets. The one which you must buy will depend on your preference, budget and brand choice. Other than that both are good gadgets worth introducing to your gadget family.
