Kindle Fire or IPad 2?

I keep going back and forth and back and forth. I like the kindle fire for the Amazon prime, books, cheaper then the ipad and the size I dislike that it doesn't have a lot of apps only ones that are good for the kindle and that it doesn't have a camera For the IPad i love that it has a camera but its twice as pricey and i don't know if its worth paying $500 Thoughts??

Best answer:
Amazon unveiled the Kindle Fire, an Android-powered tablet that acts more like a color e-reader on steroids and will retail for $199.The Kindle Fire marks Amazon's first foray into the tablet market, which has so far been dominated by Apple's iPad. But with its low price--most tablets retail for around $500--and the established Kindle brand, analysts believe Amazon's product could represent the first legitimate competitor in an area where many other high-end Android tablets have missed the mark. Bezos said that most of the content is backed up in the cloud and that the device features wireless synching. The company's Whispersync technology, which delivers digital books to the Kindle, will also work with movies and television shows. The Kindle Fire comes with a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime, the company's premium service that offers free two-day shipping and streaming video. The service normally costs $79 a year. Amazon has slowly been building up its online content, adding new shows and movies. Amazon recently signed a new licensing deal with 20th Century Fox to bring in its library of shows and movies for streaming. Amazon has also reportedly signed agreements with several publishers, including Conde Nast, Hearst, and Meredith, to have digital versions of magazines ready at launch. Amazon is attempting to go where other tablet makers have failed. The past few months have seen a number of companies stumble out of the gate with their supposed iPad-killer. Hewlett-Packard scrapped its WebOS hardware business after the lackluster sale of the TouchPad, only to revive interest by holding a fire sale at $99 a unit. Research In Motion flopped badly with its PlayBook and is similarly trying to spark sales through a number of discount programs with its retail partners. Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha acknowledged initials problems selling its Xoom tablet when it was priced higher than the iPad. After reading all above details, I prefer to choose Kindle Fire.

From what I hear the Camera on the Ipad 2 is not all that good. This is what I heard from people that own the device. If thats the most important feature I'm not sure its worth 300 extra bucks. Probably can get a really good camera for 50 dollars then buy a Kindle Fire for 200 saving you over 200 dollars. As for Apps, Ipad definitely has the kindle beat but who really is going to buy every app available. Id wait and see what apps the Kindle store produces after release. That way you can see if anything interest you. Even though Kindle Fire wont have as many apps as Ipad they will have '' thousands'' available including Hulu Plus, Netflix, Facebook etc HP touchpad has a camera & that may be something that interest you. Its around $270 but not sure about the apps.

Hi, Lauren, iPad is a much better device that has a larger screen, two cameras, and over 500,000 apps/games in iTunes store. However, it is also much more expensive, heavier and less portable to take with you on the go. Unfortunately, Kindle Fire is not a replacement as it is one underpowered device to be called a media tablet. Just released next generation Nook Tablet from Barnes & Noble clearly is the superior device. It is $224 if sign up for Barnes & Noble membership or $250 without signup. Not just 11.5 hours battery life but 9 hours of video playback time - that's vs. 8 hours for reading and 7.5 hours of video playback on Kindle Fire (even that 7.5 hours will not hold true in tests, video playback drains battery much more than reading.) 1.0 GB RAM Vs. 512 MB RAM of Kindle Fire, 16 GB content capacity plus 32 GB via microSD card vs. 8 GB capacity of Kindle Fire with no expansion slot. Fully laminated HD screen for reduced glare vs. no lamination of Kindle Fire. Bulit-in and optimized Netflix and Hulu plus with millions of movies/shows vs. 100K movies/shows of Amazon store. Many popular apps in Nook app Store (like Angy Birds, Pandora, QuickOffice, etc.) Nook Tablet has built-in mic for Skype voice conferencing and dictations to speech recognition software and it weights only 14.1 oz. Nook already has Cloud as all eBooks in your online library are stored there as well as downloaded to your device. Also, If you walk in with the Nook to Barnes & Noble store, you’re allowed to read ANY available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi and you get free technical support in case of issues in any of the store. In addition, Nooks (since Nook Color) are the darlings of the root'ing community especially because they have microSD slot (not on Kindle Fire or iPad) thus Nooks can be rooted by burning OS image on the microSD card and booting off it without rooting the actual device and voiding the warranty. On Kindle, once you rooted there's no coming back. You can buy Nook’s at Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Millon, Walmart, BestBuy, Staples, OfficeMax, Fred Mayer, P.C. Richard, Radio Shack, Target, Fry's, etc. stores and web sites.

Price-wise the kindle fire is a good option. Its $300 cheaper than the iPad 2 with all the features of a good tablet. Major con is that it doesnt have any camera for video calling/ skype. I've made a list comparing the two on my blog , do check it out
