Wondering about the differences between the Amazon Fire, Apple iPad 2, NOOK Color, and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.2? Look no further. This is a detailed comparison of how they stack up against each other. Comparison includes screen, battery life, hardware specs, media support, unique features, and a whole lot more.
Amazon has its Fire HD 10 Tablet on sale for $109.99. The tablet has a 10-inch 1080p HD display with 32 GB of internal storage. This model has a new 2.0 GHz octa-core processor and 2 GB of RAM.
The flaw affects iPhones 5 and 6, and iPad 2, running iOS 8.2 and later.
Most of the UK's biggest retailers are currently running sales but those looking for Amazon's Fire TV Stick will go home disappointed. After massive sales this festive period the product is currently out of stock at all of the largest stores. While Netflix and Amazon Prime are partially to blame, piracy has been a big driver.
One thing is for sure -- the Amazon Fire is definitely going to help drive the price down of its competitors. It should look especially attractive to regular Amazon users too, especially those with Prime since you can watch so many movies from it. Kindle users have the benefit of using it to read too using their book library.
I was about to buy the Fire but then I realized that it represent everything I don't want from an Android tablet. The small storage size, the lack of expandable memory, the lack of the Android market place, the inability to use the stock android OS.
If I wanted to live in a gated ecosystem then I would buy an iPad 2.
IMO the best out of this lot is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 but I think the Xoom is the best android tablet on the market as it offers hdmi out usb controller support and will get 4.0 android.
I do like the Idea of tablets but I still think they are a long way from replacing desktop and laptop pc's because of the limited web browsing and apps.
I think this may change when windows 8 is out next year though. But Tablets are here to stay that is for sure.
