The Apple iPad has a new top competitor, and critics are saying it is the Kindle Fire. ChangeWave, which is a research company, found in a survey that 65% of people planning on getting a tablet would get an iPad, and just 22% would get the Kindle Fire. The remaining 13% is split among the other tablets on the market. Even though there is a 43 point spread between the two tablets, it does put the Kindle Fire as the second place competitor to the iPad.
A big selling point? The Kindle Fire is priced about $300 lower than the iPad starting price. Not only that, but apparently Amazon is planning on releasing new models of the Fire, since the reception of the first generation was so good. Next year, according to rumors, Amazon is planning on releasing an 8.9-inch and a 10.1-inch Fire to go along with the current 7-inch model.
