iPad mini fits in one hand —

iPad mini Kindle Fire
Anodized aluminum Plastic
Cost $ $329 7" $199
Lower pixels 163ppi Higher pixels 216 ppi
Camera front/rear Camera front
Superior apps library Nominal # of apps
Not so crisp text/images Extra crisp text/images
So, the questions looms, does the extra iPad mini's 0.9" make a difference for the low pixels and at a higher price? [$329 vs. $199]
Would we pay extra for the best software selection and design of the iPad mini or buy the Kindle Fire for less and get a sharper image and faster processor? One funny comment I've read: "If it doesn't fit in my cargo pants, I'm not buying it....." This guy is keeping his 7'' Kindle Fire.
Makes us wonder if the clothes designer's will make those cargo pant pockets bigger for the larger 'mini' electronic gadgets in the future or perhaps for the Samsung Galaxy4 and other super-sized smartphones? It's certainly interesting what drives the market these days.
Another choice might be the new Kindle Fire 8.9"
$269 with 254 ppi.
What do you think is the perfect device for library check out?
Let us know what you are doing in your library.
