Compare Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Kindle Fire

Amazon has announced its first tablet – Kindle Fire after their success in the e-book readers. The new tablet by Amazon is the biggest threat to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 which has dominated the tablet market. To make the tablet competitive, Amazon has priced it very low cutting out features like camera and Bluetooth. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has so far become the closest competitor to Kindle Fire.

Amazon Kindle Fire

Pros: The best feature of Amazon Kindle is its $199 price tag. It’s a fusion of all the features of Kindle e-book readers with the extra functionality for running apps, browsing the Internet, watching movies and playing music. With free cloud storage and decent on board memory (8 GB), the Amazon Kindle Fire is a product whose launch date is being awaited with a lot of excitement.

Cons: No camera! That’s one big minus point for this gadget, but considering the low price, this was expected. 8 GB of storage space is meager as well, compared to the capacity Galaxy Tab. Though cloud storage is offered, it’s only limited to Amazon purchased content. Plus, the screen size is only 7 inches, compared to the 10.1 inch screens offered by competitors. However, considering its substantially low price, this is understandable.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Pros: The 1 GHz dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, with 1 GB of RAM, combined with the power of Android 3.1 (Honeycomb), makes it a high performance device. The 10.1 inch WXGA TFT LCD screen, with a 1280 x 800 resolution makes movie watching a delightful experience. The HD 720p recording made possible by the 3 MP rear camera and the 2 MP front camera enhance the utility of the device. It supports almost all video formats, unlike iPad 2, which only offers support for a few formats.

Cons: The biggest con would be the absence of a micro SD card slot, though at 16 and 32GB, there probably is little need for one. Another minus point is the absence of cloud storage facility. And though it sports the largest screen among the three, this might affect the portability of the device. Users also report slow charging of this device, which is a big disadvantage, and a certain lag between typing text and the text appearing on the screen. Not to forget, that the Galaxy Tab is running Honeycomb, which has been made especially for tablets, and as such, the OS is different from what users expect from Android. Though optimally designed for tablets, it might take a few weeks to get used to Honeycomb, leaving users a tad frustrated in the beginning.

You should have learned that the Kindle Fire can only play video in MP4 file format. To those who love watching movies on the Kindle Fire, it should be a cruel fact. You can’t enjoy any movie but MP4 files. Don’t worry, there is still a solution for you. The easiest way to play video on Kindle Fire is to convert video to Kindle Fire workable video format MP4 on mac.

Kindle Fire Converter for mac and Kindle Fire Converter mac supports most popular video formats to be converted to Kindle Fire MP4, including AVI, DivX, Xvid, MPEG, VOB, WMV, ASF, MP4, MOV, MPG, RM, RMVB, FlV, SWF etc. You can set the video size, quality, frame rate, audio bit rate, frequency, and channel.

Additionally, Kindle Fire converter is also easy-to-use, fast and creates good quality. Have fun with it!

Compare iPad2 with Kindle Fire

Clearly, Amazon’s just-announced Kindle Fire isn’t designed to compete head-to-head with the iPad 2 on specs alone, but that doesn’t mean consumers won’t be cross-shopping the two this holiday season — and that means a comparison is in order.

Kindle Fire vs iPad2

Here is a comparison of the main features of both devices. If you’re in the market for a tablet, though, here’s the real question: Which one, if either, is right for you?

Price:

Thickness and weight:

The 7-inch Kindle Fire is 11.4mm thick, substantially more than the 8.8mm-thick 9.7-inch iPad 2. Amazon’s Fire weighs 14.6 ounces. The iPad 2 weighs 1.33 to 1.35 pounds.

Processor:

Amazon’s tablet has a dual-core processor. Apple’s iPad 2 sports a dual-core 1 GHz processor.

Camera and video:

The Kindle Fire doesn’t have a mic or camera – something which a lot of commentators believe is a sizeable hole in the Fire’s armoury. The iPad2 comes with front- and back-facing cameras.

Connectivity:

The Kindle Fire only connects to the web via Wi-Fi, there is no cellular 3G data. The iPad 2 offers Wi-Fi and 3G wireless.

Battery life:

The Kindle Fire The Fire lasts eight hours for reading, 7.5 for video. The iPad 2 battery lasts 10 hours.

Books:

Fire users will be able to access more than 12m Kindle e-books, Apple’s iBookstore has more than 200,000 ebooks

Conclusion: And so we move on to the biggest difference between the two tablets: the price. While the Kindle Fire is missing a few features that will be important to some, it is a staggering $300 cheaper, and so for those who aren’t bothered about Bluetooth and cameras and 3D gaming, the Kindle Fire looks like a very nice tablet. Perfect, in fact, for those who want a small device that performs does the basics — and does them very, very well.

Amazon Kindle Fire enters to the tablet market

Amazon's tablet, reportedly named the Kindle Fire, could be the first Android device to effectively challenge Apple's iPad. Or it could end up as just another over-hyped, under-performing tablet steamrolled by the Apple juggernaut. The Amazon Kindle Fire has been officially announced at an event in New York, marking the first time the company has entered the tablet market proper.

Amazon Kindle Fire tablet

The Kindle Fire will retail for $199—less than half the price of the iPad, less than the 7-inch Barnes & Noble Nook Color, BlackBerry Playbook, and HTC Flyer.

The tablet itself only packs 8GB of internal memory, which the company says can’t be expanded. But it also comes with free cloud storage, which gives users access to more content than they could hold on any other tablet. And at 14.6 ounces, it’s noticeably lighter than the 9-inch iPad.

The Kindle Fire’s reasonable price, together with the potential of widespread Android app support, makes the device an enticing option, especially for families who want to give a tablet to the kids without having to blast through five bills. The Kindle Fire is clearly first and foremost an entertainment-consumption companion to Amazon’s services. The ability to install apps and do anything more with the tablet–handling email, sharing photos, and the like–really feels like a secondary operation.
