I think the Kindle Fire is a huge winner, but I see that Nook Color has an advantage over both the iPad 2 and the Kindle Fire with one pretty significant feature: Expandable storage. The Nook Color has an SD Card slots that can take SD card of up to 32GB. I have used that feature a lot in both Android program development and general file access. Even though the iPad2 has up to 64GB, from this article, it appears there is not way to expand it. This is another area where the Kindle Fire comes up short. If the Nook Color and/or Kindle Fire come up with a way to attach external storage, a microphone and/or a camera via the USB and/or Bluetooth ports, they will be adding something great to their products. Of course, the Nook Color and Kindle Fire have the added advantages over the iPad2 of price, Android, and not being from Apple.
Have you used the iPad 2? Apple does great work. 🙂
I know they do, but I am pretty poor, kids in college, a mortgage, and all that. I cannot really afford either the iPad or the service. I would love to be able to give one a try, though! Maybe when we are out in Oregon next time. Actually, Lorena’s Dad has one down in Mexico. We talk to him on his iPad with Skype.
Yeah I under stand the cost thing. The iPad is my computer so it is not an extra cost.
I love it that your whole computer is an iPad. The whole keyboard dock thing turns it into everything you need. That is the thing that really appeals to me about the iPad.
