Ipad Air: Interesting read

> 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.

This 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.

It'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.

It'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".
