Putting together a side-by-side Kindle vs iPad review, which device will likely prevail? No doubt about it, the Apple iPad, with its very recent much-talked about launch, is the “in” thing today. Hardcore Apple consumers can hardly wait to get their hands on one as the WiFi versions are expected to ship in late March, while the 3G models are arriving in April. When that time comes, we will no doubt see long lines in front of every Apple store as what happened with the release of the iPhone.

But what of the ebook readers like the Amazon Kindle and the Sony Reader? The e-reader has slowly become a mainstream consumer device, with the Kindle getting the bigger share of the consumer market. Seeing the potential however, many such ebook readers have also cropped up. But the entry of tablet PCs like the iPad which can also more than ably function as an ebook reader may shift the demand to multi-functional devices. Can the iPad really make a significant dent on the ebook reader industry? Let’s weigh the factors.

Starting with the negative, the iPad will be connected to Apple’s own e-book store. This makes sense for those who are still thinking of buying an ebook reading gadget, but if you already own a ton of digital books, you won’t be able to dump them into the iPad. Actual ebook prices are still to be confirmed but there’s talk that purchasing iBooks in the Apple e-book store is going to run you around $12.99 and $14.99. This can be a little pricey if you have to start from scratch. Plus, Amazon’s ebooks are still retailing at $9.99 apiece.

Still, getting an iPad has its own set of benefits as it’s a device that can serve a lot of functions. You will be able to use this big iPhone clone, sans the “phone” to watch high-def movies, TV, browse the web, and play games on a 9.7 inch IPS touch screen. Sticking with Apple standards, the clarity and color is amazing, and it comes with your choice of a 16-GB, 32-GB or 64-GB internal storage. Depending on your needs, prices start out at $499 and end at $829.

On the other hand, the Amazon Kindle is a device designed with the user’s most comfortable and convenient reading experience in mind. Unlike the LCD screen of the iPad, the Kindle is equipped with e-ink display, which many say, is still best for reading for longer periods of time. The Kindle’s battery can last up to two weeks without recharging, so it could also make the perfect traveling companion. The 6-inch model is priced at $259, while the 9.7-inch Kindle DX costs $489.

So which gets our thumbs up in this Kindle vs iPad comparison? Without a doubt, for the gadget geek, the iPad will fit perfectly alongside the MacBook Pro, AirPort Express, Magic Mouse and its smaller counter-part in looks, the iPhone. But for the bookworm just looking to read in the most conducive “environment” and don’t require all of the other stuff, the Kindle is still the best choice on the market today.

With only days left until Apple unveils it’s “latest creation”, the web is all a twitter about the mystical Apple Tablet. I myself scour the web for news so I can stay on top of it all, but also because I’m excited by where mainstream tablet PCs aimed at consumers could take the future of personal computing.

For example, aside from this website, I also do a lot of audio, video and graphics work, and I try to image what the Apple Tablet might do to help me in those ventures as well. Let’s take the audio work. Imagine taking the virtual mixer used in programs like Logic Pro, and now having that mixer portion running on your tablet while you work on the tracks on your main PC. Now, instead of using the mouse to control your levels, you could use the virtual mixer on the touch pad and change multiple levels at once with the tablet’s multi-touch capabilities. Now you might be able to forgo an expensive external hardware control surface for one on your tablet.

You could apply that thinking to other programs as well. Imagine the Final Cut Studio tools not only being able to run on the tablet, but being “tablet enabled” on your main desktop machine. By this, I mean having Final Cut know when you have the tablet connected (via Bluetooth, perhaps?) and now the tablet becomes an accessory you can use to control tasks on the main editing machine.

Instead of having to buy a keyboard with all the colored keys showing you which function each one does, all of that could be dynamically placed on the touchpad’s screen and now you have a whole new control surface. Sounds cool to me. You could use the processing power of the main machine to chug through the data and do the main number crunching, but the tablet could be used to enhance the whole user experience.

In the above scenarios, the tablet isn’t used as a replacement for a main PC, but as an enhancement to the main PC’s user experience. People keep thinking about what the tablet might replace, but not many have been thinking of how the Tablet PC might enhance things you already do everyday. For me, I don’t see the tablet being able to replace my whole desktop, as I need that processing power for a lot of the work that I do, but I can see how it could change how I perform the work I do everyday.

Imagine how your PC experience could be changed if your Mac knew the tablet was nearby, and could automatically connect and enhance the user experience of any number of programs on your desktop. Or how a nice remote desktop client might let you do work that requires more robust computing resources than the tablet could provide, but from the comfort of your living room couch using multi-touch. And this all on top of everything else the tablet could do, such as an e-reader, web browsing, Facebook, Twitter, etc, and now you’ve got a machine that could do incredibly more than originally envisioned years ago when tablet PCs were first introduced.

Don’t just think of the tablet as replacing other computing resources (which it may very well do), but also how it could enhance the things you already do everyday, be it for work or pleasure. Now your market for that tablet computer has grown drastically from just replacing a laptop or netbook to something you’d easily find necessary for all of your everyday activities. Tablets might be seen as a niche product by many right now, but soon I think we’ll be introduced to a whole new world made possible by these tablet PCs.

Steve Valentino asked:




A tablet PC functions like a laptop, but doesn’t have a keyboard or mouse. Instead, it has a special touch screen, which receives information as the user writes on the screen with a specially designed pen. The pen can be used like a mouse, to select and open files or drag a file from one folder to another. The same pen can be used in place of a keyboard to write anything in any computer file. A tablet PC screen takes information only through this special pen. It does not take any information from your finger, as certain other touch screens do. If needed, a keyboard can also be attached to a tablet PC.

However, its main advantage lies in the fact that one doesn’t need a flat space to place a keyboard to use the computer. A tablet PC allows the user to work on it even while standing. Professionals such as doctors, salespersons, engineers, police officers and others who have to stand up most of the time while performing their duties can feel much more comfortable by using a tablet PC instead of a conventional PC or laptop. A number of companies are now producing tablet PCs. They differ in speed, design, look and sometimes functions, too.

There are several models of these tablet PCs available in the market such as the slate model, rugged model and convertible model. The market for tablet PCs is expanding at a rapid pace and it is predicted that the trend is likely to gain further momentum, as most of the big players in the market have decided to jump on this bandwagon. There is no dearth of hardware and software support for the tablet PC. It is easy to use, has a high memory and works at high speed – all this without taking up too much space, and it gives the user the opportunity to use it anywhere.
