    the tablet war is heating up

    I guess I'm just not seeing it. The price-points are just too far off to have them in similar markets. The 10" Kindle ... that's the one which will be the true iPad competition.

    the tablet war is heating up

    It will read any PDF just fine. All Kindles do with varied levels of success. That success is almost completely dependent on how well the PDF itself was created. Announcement in March, shipping soon after if the pattern holds.

    the tablet war is heating up

    Yup, it's absolutely not a iPad killer. It sets the market for two different types of tablets which is really nice. I continue to look forward to what type of other features the 10" model will have when we see it next year!

    And Amazon finally jumps in with the Kindle Fire. Pre-ordered mine the second it went up on amazon.com. :)

    the tablet war is heating up

    While the point was explained earlier the fact remains that any tablet of a usable size is going to have limitations on what it can do, hence it will have to be low powered by definition when looking at the entire spectrum of consumer computers can do. I completely agree with all the other...

    the tablet war is heating up

    I'm highly skeptical of anything Windows in portable form. They've never been able to cut down the bloat to the point where it would really work on a low powered platform.

    Proprietary cables are a massive rip-off in every case.

    the tablet war is heating up

    I've determined that since I use my iPad so much that I owe it to myself to buy the first really good Andriod offering. I adore the OS and would love Flash support and other feature people have been clamoring for. :) That hopefully means another purchase during the holiday season. I may even...

    [Saturday AM] Ice Station Zeta (Dread) **CANCELLED**

    Sorry all, but I've got to cancel this game since we won't be able to make it down to DC this weekend. I promise that everyone has dibs on the next game I run if you want it!

    the tablet war is heating up

    It's interesting that believe those sources make your point for you. The 2 OSs are much closer than your "catching up" rant indicates. Especially when considering that the new guy has closed the gap so quickly. I'd certainly expect the product that's had more time to get polished to get...

    the tablet war is heating up

    Droid/Android = same thing. Your post painted a very clear picture that no one was making money off the brand, Apple was crushing Android in terms of satisfaction and so on. When nothing could be further from the truth. Didn't think me calling your interpretation of where the two are at was...

    Could have fooled me, especially with the cadre bit. ;)

    the tablet war is heating up

    The way you spin it would make it sound like Droid isn't in the race at all when that could be no farther from the truth. You are talking about profit share and it's really no surprise that the company who was first in is leading in that area. Especially when the Android market is still...
