Okay so for christmas i want something like an ipad or a kindlefire. which one should i get? Reviews? It probably depends on what im going to use most on it:
- I definitley want to do A LOT of reading on it, i will want to buy/read many books (which is why im considering the Fire) which screen is better for your eyes?
- I will take advantage of the fun apps. and little games
- I will use the internet for researching, youtube, and other sites
- Not a big socail media for me, i have a good phone and im not going to use the facetime or skype a lot
classicsat: Both use LCD. The iPad2 has a bigger screen, more powerful processor, and Camera(s).
The Fire is based on an older Android hardware and OS platform.
TheTruth: Hi Jaymes, if you want the best get iPad as it is a much better device that has a larger screen, two cameras, and over 500,000 apps/games in iTunes store. However, it is also much more expensive, heavier and less portable to take with you on the go. For someone who thinks of reading off the electronic device Kindle Fire is the worst you can think of. It’s got non-laminated very reflective screen that is light years worse than the screen of the new Nook Tablet (that is Nook Color 2).
Kindle Fire is OK for video playback, web browsing, and apps. However, it’s not too good for reading (very reflective screen with no coating), and not the best for anything else with choppy video playback and slow apps load. For only $ 50 more, you can get Nook – it’s performance smokes Kindle Fire in all pro reviews specifically on video playback, the screen quality, and how fast apps load. Reported issues with Fire are it runs hot to touch, video playback is jerky, touch screen is not responsive and it takes 2-3 touches to register, power button placement is very poor and is prone to accidental power off, all the hype of Silk browser is a myth where the browsing is actually slower than on other Android tablets, etc.
Nook Tablet has Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Angry Brids, etc., the best battery life (30% better), the best non-glare laminated screen (visibly noticeable difference in side by side tests in video playback and EBooks reading), double the RAM and space for apps/photos/movies, microSD slot (not on Kindle) and a microphone for Skype (not on Kindle or Color), and much zippier performance during video playback and apps usage than choppy/laggy act of Kindle Fire according to many user reviews. Nook tablet is a bit lighter than Kindle Fire as well.
I’ve collected several pro reviews samples below that are right o the subject of your question:
PCWORLD:
The Nook Tablet’s unique display has less reflectivity than the Kindle Fire’s, and so is easier to read. In addition, some fonts and videos render more sharply on it than on the Fire….The Nook Tablet’s display was dazzling overall. The screen’s glare was minimal, thanks to what Barnes & Noble calls its VividView display. The IPS display is laminated and bonded; so unlike on other tablets’s displays–including the Kindle Fire’s–there’s no annoying, visible air gap between the glass screen and the LCD beneath.
CNET:
Nook Tablet’s screen, which is a higher-quality IPS display than the Kindle Fire, really shows off Netflix and Hulu Plus to amazing effect…It’s the best screen on a budget tablet that I’ve ever seen.
