I am really sympathetic to Amazon here, but to not be misleading, the right column would need to have items such as does video editing with iMovie or equivalent, has cameras and microphones, runs office productivity suite, runs digital music recording and editing studio (GarageBand), etc. My understanding is that the Kindle doesn't really have much software available for it. If that has changed and the software is now comparable to what is available on iOS, Amazon should make that really clear. Obviously it is a huge issue and not some minor thing that should be left off a comparison chart.
The claim that the iPad is incapable of playing HD movies seems to be false based on commonly accepted definitions of HD as being 720 and up. They should define what they mean so as not to give the appearance of misrepresentation. The TV claim is likewise strange as neither device contain a TV receiver, but both are capable of playing TV shows that are appropriately encoded as video files, or available through streaming from the internet.
- esolyt 14y agoHD video resolution is 1280x720. iPad mini only has a 1024x768 screen. That makes 780 000 pixels instead of 920 000 pixels, which is a significant difference. Also, iPad mini has a 4:3 screen which means the user will see black bars on top and the bottom while watching an HD movie.
