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.

Mark Fiore's app was approved last April, about a week after the flap about it. The reversals on app store problems never get the coverage that the problems do in the first place. Not that all the problems are reversed.

As I pointed out, anything that can be done as a web app can be saved to the iPhone. If you want a booby app and Apple won't approve it, make it a web app and show people how to save it.
