Kindle vs. iPad
ByDuring the time I should have been blogging, I have been reading comparisons between the Kindle and the upcoming iPad. As a Mac guy who highly enjoys my Kindle, I am more than a bit curious. A part of me would like to buy both just to try them out! Ridiculous I know, but I am just being honest.
Here are the most helpful articles I have found.
Is the iPad good for Amazon? (over at CNET)
Kindle not ready to Surrender to iPad (from the LA Times)
The Top 10 Reasons the iPad will Put the Kindle out of Business (from TechCrunch)
The iPad vs. the Kindle: How Should Amazon Respond? (also from TechCrunch)
If nothing else, I look forward to reviewing this post in about 10 years to see how close or how far off these folks were.

Joe, I’m a tech and apple fan like you but my take is that it’s a niche product – not destined for the scale of the iPhone or the iPod. I guess most of the people think “…I guess I’ll be hanging on to my Kindle for a few more years.” But hey, there hasn’t been a lot of upside in underestimating Steve Jobs over the last few years…
Will shall see in 10 years anyway
