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.

My recommendation would be the iPad. Between the Nook and iPad I use the iPad _much_ more. It's also been increasing in usefulness by leaps and bounds whereas the Nook is mostly just doing the same one thing really really well. Like Emma I have a 3G version but haven't really had a need to turn the 3G on yet. It's particularly good for reading web comics in the mornings and watching movies or TV or just reading during my lunch break.
