Amazon launches Kindle Fire, a 7-inch color android tab along with Kindle Touch
This is one update on the Amazon’s Kindle front that I have been waiting for quite some time. Have you always looked at that Apple iPad sighing and cursing Apple for selling them at such a high price? Have you always wanted to own a tablet which is reasonable on the price front, is feature packed and is not one a Chinese-iPad-Copy? Then your wait is over…
I know one can not be sure about tabs as all other players after iPad’s launch like Samsung Galaxy Tab, Blackberry Playbook, Motorola Zoom and the latest being HP TouchPad have been quite a disappointment. But this time it looks like, Amazon’s Kindle Fire has what it takes to take Apple’s warrior down.
iPad or iFail? Is Apple iPad really worth the wait?
Okay, this post may come as a surprise to many of those apple devotees, but its something even they cannot deny completely. Since the iPad was unveiled by Steve Jobs, many have had mixed reviews about the product. We have read and seen what it is all about, how different iPad is or rather how cool it is! But is iPad really a success story?
There are so many short-comings to the iPad, following are a few to name:
- No multi-tasking option. C’mon guys its the 21st Century!!
- No support for Flash! Still trying to play the monopoly game??
- No camera/webcam. Duh!!!
- Like Kindle even this will have a Store and they will try to make it stuck to only special format pdfs. Monopoly game again..
- Looks sleek but just a stretched version for iPhone. Do you really bank it to be innovative?
- No hand-writing recognition or option to take print-outs!
- And the worst reason, what is so great about iPad? Why so much hype, so much brouhaha..?? What have iPad come up with so good that people can’t stop talking about it..? I would say nothing! Here is an image I found on the net, creator unknown but it says it all:
Here are some posts on other blogs about why iPad is actually iFail:
