Kindle Fire Vs iPad: Is Amazon Hoping to Crush the Apple iPad?

Page 2 of 2

“While Amazon’s latest ad offers little in the way of specific details, it does relay the message that the starting price of the Kindle Fire HD is $200 less than a similarly equipped iPad.”

“In actuality, Apple’s iPad bests the Fire HD’s display in both size and pixel density, with a 9.7-inch panel boasting a resolution of 264 pixels per inch. As noted by BGR, Amazon’s tablet uses an 8.9-inch LCD built at a slightly lower-resolution 254ppi pixel density.”

As you can see, the Amazon commercial is a bit misleading.

How do you feel about where the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPad stands right now? Do you get the feeling that the Kindle Fire HD is closing the gap?
