Ipad Air: Interesting read
- sidcool 13y agoThis is a very good read, regardless of the author's distaste for Apple's RDF, as he refers. This is like reading the other side of the story. That's on one had. On the other hand, it's like creating an RDF for Amazon's Kindle fire HD. From one RDF to another.
- acqq 13y agoIt's mentioned in the text but it's worth bringing to the attention: Kindle has the smaller screen area, you'll miss that fact if you just look at the number presented for the diagonal and not consider the different aspect ratios.
- haberdasher 13y agoAgreed. iPad Air has 20% more screen. I'm all for the pendulum swinging back, but that's a number that should be used in all of the comparisons.
- LfLxfxxLxfxx 13y agoIt's a misleading read unless you read it to the end. The author starts by criticizing Apple for its aptitude for marketing over technology (rightly so) but ends up claiming "how awesome Apple actually is".
- mcphage 13y ago> The new Kindle Fire HDX, for example, has a higher-resolution screen, more battery life, weighs less, and even costs less than the iPad Air. The new iPad Mini has a higher PPI screen at the same resolution, the same battery life, weighs less, and even costs less than the iPad Air. But... so what? It's a different product, and there are all sorts of details that this comparison leaves out, that justifies the existence of both. So too with the Kindle HDX.
