Re: [iPad] Fight! Amazon Takes the Gloves off Against Apple’s iPad Mini

 

No offense was intended.  And no 'geek' isn't considered deragatory, only descriptive.


The point was that the techies, geeks as it were, do not really define the personal computer/tablet/smartphone market any more.

I could be wrong Lloyd but I disagree with iPad vs Amazon. I'd say iPad vs Google Nexus 7. The reason being, Amazon has crippled the Android software running on their tablets making it so you can not download from other sources like Google Play Store. Google Nexus 7 is true Android Jelly Bean. Granted, IMHO, the iPad is better, easier to use and the apps look much better.

I've been in the Apple ecosystem for a very long time so I wouldn't consider the Fire.  But if I wasn't, Amazon would certainly be a consideration.  While Amazon's current ecosystem isn't quite up to Apple's, it is moving in the right direction.


I've said in other forums that the two winners in touchpads over the long term will be Apple and Amazon, both because they have or are working strongly, on the ecosystem.

The more generic Android market just isn't there at all imo, especially on touchpads.  Most apps are still designed around the touchphone screen and the market is a mess.

I like Amazon and their ecosystem, especially since they've made parts of it work on the iPad. I have a Kindle Fire from last year, but ended up giving it to my wife for book/magazine reading.
