Apple iPad Vs Kindle


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Apple iPad, the product which is just launched, is considered by many as a threat to the Amazon's Kindle and time only will decide which dominates the market. Based on the purpose for which the two devices have been designed, we must say that both are equally good. But there are some basic differences between iPad and Kindle, which the users need to understand.

So far, the market has been dominated by Amazon and now the announcement of the launch of the new mini device by Apple will certainly will be a threat to Kindle. IPad gains some advantages as it has been designed exclusively for the end user and looks colorful and great. The touch screen and similar functionalities of iPad cannot be compared with the old fashioned Kindle having a black and white screen and less interactive features.

While exploring the features of both Kindle and iPad, it can be seen that iPad has the powerful browser, Safari, equipped with it. Kindle, on the other hand, serves as an e book reader with a simple browser which is quite incompetent of offering the features of functions of Apple Safari.

As far as the battery power is concerned, Kindle excels the Apple iPad. The iPad, with its backlight display consumes more power when the Kindle uses very less battery power, considering the minimal power needed each time the page loads.

The Kindle app comes free for the iPad and this gives a greater selection of books for the iPad users. The iPad owners can access the library of both Amazon and Apple before making the decision to purchase a book. Here, Kindle offers the users only limited access through the Amazon store, but still the deliverability cannot be deemed inferior to that of iPad.

iPad supports the ePub format, which in turn is compatible with numerous devices, while in Kindle, the books can be read only on a limited number of Amazon products.

Another factor that gives advantage to the iPad users is the presence of a feature-rich email client and the different views available in the iPad-portrait and landscape. The touch screen enables the users to do most of the tricks with the finger tips. The clarity of the iPad screen and the wide angled view are features that are specific to the Apple product. The clarity and the precision with which the photos can be viewed in iPad are far superior to Kindle, which handles photos in black and white resolution.

Rather than being confined as an e book reader like the Kindle, iPad offers a lot of facilities, including the ability to store and organize the multimedia files. iPad supports multimedia in all formats and this makes it a pleasurable experience for the user who enjoys the music and videos stored in the device. Moreover, the storage space in iPad is almost double the size of that available in Kindle.

The iPad prices start at $499, but when the usability and the thousands of apps are taken in to consideration, the price is just reasonable, even though a little higher than Amazon's Kindle.

The bottom line is that if you are exclusively looking for a simple e book reader, Kindle may serve the purpose; but if you wish to possess an advanced equipment with additional features, iPad is the best option. So just like the way iPod became popular, apple iPad may conquer the electronic world in near future with its glistening looks and amazing features.

Image : http://www.flickr.com


Games with Doodle-style characters and backgrounds are topping the charts in the App Store for both paid and free apps. It seems folks just can't get enough Doodle Games. In no particular order, here is our list of the Best Doodle-Drawn Games in the App Store. All these games work great with both iPhone and iPad devices.

Doodle Kart Life: Doodle Kart Life looks as though it is on grid paper and drawn with a ball point pen, but unlike other similar games, this one looks pretty decent. The driver has numerous options for controlling the car: speed, acceleration, weight, items. Also, like the tried and true Mario Kart, "weapons" can be used to take down opponents. Want this game for free? The, check out Doodle Kart Lite.

Doodle Jump: If an addicting game is what you're looking for, Doodle Jump is the ticket. It is the player's duty to guide an imaginary four-legged creature, affectionately dubbed the "Doodler," up a never ending series of platforms without failing. There is no end. You cannot beat the game. You only try to beat your high score. Guide "Doodler" to a safe spot, hopefully avoiding monsters, UFO's, and black holes in rainforest, jungle, or space themed adventures.

Doodle Army: This game requires a sense of humor, but thankfully, not a long attention span. Doodle Army is perfect for those who don't have the time or desire to get stuck for an hour when more important tasks are at hand. Don't drop it so quickly. It's the little things that will keep you coming back. Basically, as an army soldier, you move from side to side, jump and crouch, fire and duck. Pass checkpoints and earn purple hearts to level up, moving from one historically real war to the next.

Glow Doodle: Much like a modern day light bright, this app is simple, colorful, and quickly gaining the popularity it deserves. A mere six neon colors are at your disposal, and unfortunately, no eraser. Yet the artistically challenged need not fear; there is an undo button for quick fixes. The bright colors are used to draw and doodle on a pitch black background for the greatest contrast. After your picture is complete, tap the glow button and watch your doodle illuminate with life. The newest version even has the option to illuminate certain parts while others remain dull. The best part is, you can save the pictures as wallpaper or send them to friends.

Swakker Doodle: Swakker Doodle may just be the most high tech of all the doodle applications out there. You can simply doodle on a blank page with the option of over 50 colors, or you can doodle to your heart's delight on an existing photo or one of the apps many backgrounds. Like a real artist, choose from fine or broad thicknesses, and grab the eraser when needed. Invite a friend, whether they are connected to Swakker Doodle or not, to join with you. The two or more separate screens will display the same picture with the same added doodles. When the fun is over, save the masterpiece to your library to remember the good time you shared with your long distance friends.

iPad Review - The New Apple Tablet Computer


Image : http://www.flickr.com


After considerable speculation, the new Apple device was finally revealed as being named the iPad on Wednesday January 27 2010 by Steve Jobs at the Latest Creation event. The Apple tablet had previously been rumoured to be called the iSlate, though Magic Slate was also speculated. Rumours about the possible iPad name only surfaced a week or so before the official announcement.

The Apple tablet release date is estimated to be April 2010. If you are a fan of the iPhone or iTouch, then this product is likely to appeal. Described as a giant iTouch, the iPad ascetically is just that. Bigger but equally slimline, the 9.7 inch touch screen on this device provides plenty of room for any activity, and there's plenty to do!

Browsing the net is possible in both landscape and portrait mode and there is no need to zoom in like you do with the iPhone to read content.

Email is presented in two ways depending on whether the iPad is held landscape or portrait. Landscape provides the inbox to be displayed, portrait shows just the email itself. A large QWERTY keyboard appears on the touch screen when text needs to be entered.

Photo galleries are presented so that it is easy to find a specific image when you don't know which folder you saved it in. Simply use the touch screen to see the contents with a simple swish of the fingers. The folder will not open, but it will show you the contents in an easy to view manner.

Music is available with access to iTunes built in. YouTube and YouTube HD video streaming will also be available.

iPhone apps work on the iPad without the need for any modification. That means that any application in the store can be run and used in the same way, but with the added benefit of being on a considerably bigger 9.7 inch screen. This is deal for the large selection of game applications available. Applications specifically for the iPad are currently in development and a second gold rush frenzy looks set to take hold of developers wanting to emulate the success of the original iPhone application makers.

The iPad Or iPod Touch?


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Some people think that the iPad is better than the iTouch and some think that the iTouch is better than the iPad. Which one do you think is better? Well what's pretty good about the iPad is that there's a bigger screen and it's just like the iTouch. You can do everything the same way you can with your iTouch but some people like the smallness of the iPod Touch while others love the big screen on the iPad. Here's what the iPad can and cannot do compared to the iPod Touch. There are many accessories for it too. One of them is to connect to an apple keyboard and you pretty much have a Mac.

The iPad has over 140,000 apps already that can be downloaded and most of them you can already from the iTouch. The makers of iPad are trying to make things easier and a lot better by expanding the games to fit on your iPad. If you want to put some games from your iTouch into your iPad all you have to do is sync it in your computer and then it will put those apps in. The iPad has some applications that are specifically made for that incredible device. Anything from navigating and social networking to games and entertainment. There's even an iWork which was on the Mac Apple Computers as well.

The iPad has a 9.7- inch, LED backlit IPS display with an incredible Multi-Touch screen. It's like a small laptop all in one but all touch screen. This makes it perfect for photos, movies, and web browsing; the screen is crystal clear. iPad is very thin and light (it weighs 1.5 pounds and 0.5 inches thick). This iPod has ten hours of battery life when you're watching a movie, surfing the web, playing games, etc.

What the iPad is not very great is that it's $499.00 for a sixteen GB and costs more on how much GB you want or not. If you are someone who is not into fancy and likes something smaller you can go with the iPod Touch. If you are someone who is into the latest technology and loves a light device that's big for its size then go for the iPad. Apple keeps thinking about all these fantastic ideas and just keeps getting better by the minute. What do you think about the iPad?
