Apple iPad MB292LL/A Tablet (16GB, Wifi)

The iPad has been out for a month now, and it is by far the coolest device out there. Even if you already have a smartphone or an iPhone it is worth the purchase. It has a crystal clear screen which you can take anywhere. I highly recommend the product.

Amazon Kindle Reviews

Comscore surveyed  2,176 Internet users between March 12 and March 16. The takeaways:

• Apple’s iPad is boosting awareness for e-readers overall;
• However, only 37 percent of respondents said they were likely to read books on the device.
• Half of respondents said they would use the iPad for browsing the email.
• 36 percent said they would watch movies and video with 34 percent said they would read newspapers and magazines.

The bottom line when it comes to buying intentions:

And how folks would use the iPad:

So what is the conclusion?  Well if Amazon wants to have any chance in the market it needs to drop the price of the kindle, maybe even offering a package where the Kindle is only $99 but you have to buy a certain number of books (or book credits) at the same time.  Otherwise, this will be an easy win for the internet enabled iPad.

They also confirmed that it would be accepting pre-orders for the long-awaited device beginning on March 12.

However, the Wi-Fi +3G iteration of the tablet won’t hit store shelves until late April.

The device is 0.5 inches thick and weighs just 1.5 pounds — which is thinner and lighter than most laptops or netbooks — with a battery life of up to 10 hours.

The device will cost $500 and allow you to browse the web, use apps send email, share photos, watch videos, listen to music, and read ebooks.
