ipad vs kindle: CAGE MATCH!

[rmd]

OKAY YOU OVERLY OPINIONATED INTERNET PEOPLE! CONVINCE ME! OR SOMETHING.

I need to choose a $SIGNIFICANT_MILESTONE gift for someone. iPad? or Kindle?

iPad has the advantage of doing much more - apps! widgets! other stuff!
Kindle has the advantage of not requiring a separate pay-by-the-month data plan for cell access. Plus more battery life.

thoughts?

I figure either an ipad and a small itunes store gift card (and possibly a small amazon gift card for ebooks), or a kindle and a larger amazon gift card.

I'd go with the iPad and get the Wifi version. If your friend wants cellular broadband, then this can easily be provided by (e.g.) a Virgin Mobile BroadBand2Go Mifi unit ($40 per month for unlimited data, no contract!) AT&T just isn't worth it for cellular broadband.
