Is there a possibility that Apple’s iPad can replace Amazon’s Kindle?

Maybe it could have.  The iPad has more features in comparison with the Kindle DX and is not just an eReader like the Kindle.

The strategies both Apple and Amazon use in their business are totally complimentary.  Amazon got involved in a business that was totally out of their depth – hardware – just so they could use it to sell their e-books by the introduction of the Kindle for e-reading.  For a business that has sold content, this was an entirely new kettle of fish, but they did it.  They now have plans to sell e-textbooks with Kindle DX. Apple – the pioneers in hardware technology and unique gadgetry – got into a new field with the introduction of the iPad – selling content readers.  With its reputation of selling iPods online from its media store, it traded hardware becoming the world leader in the field.

Apple states that the Netbook they have on the market is the iPod touch.  The iPad is not only a look alike but it is also a bigger version of the iPod touch.

Notebooks are said to have been cannibalized by netbooks.  Which is why Apple dislikes Netbooks. Which is the reason they decided to introduce the iPad which is not a replacement of any existing device sold by Apple currently.  You can prop the iPad next to your bed or recline with it on a chair or couch or also park it on your tray table in an airplane and also simultaneously use other devices you may be carrying.

Using the iPad is simple because it is user friendly.  You can surf the net or listen to your music while simultaneously using the iPad like you would use a Kindle.

Candid Review of the Apple iPad

The introduction of the iPad from Apple has been looked forward to in the market of electronic gadgets and it has been 10 years since rumors of its appearance.  Its physical dimensions are 1024×768, a 9.7 inch touchscreen with a thickness of half an inch and has an IPS display that is LED-backlit.  The iPad is enhanced with a Bluetooth 2.1, an accelerometer and a built-in compass.  Though the gadget had a lot of marketing that went before its launch, many people feel it falls short of what is come to be expected from the stables of Apple.  Here is a candid review of the iPad.

Prior to the introduction of the iPad, it was called the Apple Tablet, the iTab and the iSlate.  Comparisons have been made with the Kindle – the ebook reader from Amazon.  The difference clearly is that the Kindle is a dedicated reader and does not perform the other functions of the iPad.

One wonders if players that have heavily invested in the eReader industry – like Acer and Amazon – should be worried at the introduction of the iPad, which is in fact a low-level entry in a market that is fiercely competitive.  So far as the iPad is concerned, it does not compare with the other eReaders in the market in terms of user-friendliness, though it comes with other benefits.  Also, it did not create the same kind of bang on its market entry as the iPhone or iPod.
