Kindle Math

Posted on September 28, 2011 by Gene

SARAH ROTMAN EPPS, Forrester Research Tech Analyst: You could buy four Kindle Fires for the price of one souped-up iPad.

And that one iPad would still have:

• 32gb more RAM than all four of those Kindles put together
• 100% more 3G capability
• About twice as much screen space
• Twice as many cameras
• 100% more microphones
• Hundreds of thousands of apps
• etc…

But what I find interesting is that the Kindle Fire is clearly designed to consume content (Amazon’s content, of course), not create it. Which is exactly what the naysayers said about the iPad.
