Kindle Fire, Full Color 7" Multi-touch Display, Wi-Fi

Not really sure if I want to buy it yet, has anyone tried it out/have a review?

A: I owned the Kindle 2 and Kindle DX has all the benefits of the Kindle 2. I do think the Kindle DX is even better than the Kindle 2, so let me give you some of my opinions. I've to say I love my Kindle 2! I think I've read over 20 books with my Kindle,

Review: Apple's iPad is Still Best Tablet Available Now

Size / Weight: For the first time ever, Apple has produced a product that is thicker than its predecessor.  As the company's laptop line gets thinner and thinner, the iPad put on a little heft, a little like Jonah Hill after he shed all that baggage. The new iPad is 52 grams heavier than the outgoing model, and while it won't strain your arms, it's a noticeable weight difference. Although, if you're coming from an original iPad, which weight 1.5 lbs, you'll think it's all good.

Final say: The iPad is still the best tablet money can buy. There's no question about it. The faster specs only magnify the already great iOS 5.1 operating system. When you combine that with the barrage of apps available, it's hard to justify buying anything else. Should you buy one? It depends. If you have an original iPad and you feel like it's getting long in the tooth, yes, go get an iPad 3. The difference will amaze you. Same goes for those who don't yet have a tablet. However, if you have an iPad 2, you can save yourself some dough and keep rocking with what you have. At this point, the iPad is similar to the Porsche 911. Similar in shape to previous models, each new 911 simply (well, it's not simple at all, really) hones the already great base put in production all those years ago. Is it revolutionary? No. But it's so good, it doesn't need to be.

Small Pressures: Kindle Review, part 4 - Tech - User Experience

I chose the wi-fi only version because it was $60 cheaper at the time, and I'm rarely away from wi-fi. I live in a major city with wi-fi everywhere, and I have wi-fi at home and work. One decision you need to make when buying the Kindle: 3G or wi-fi. If you only use your Kindle for reading books, like I do, the only time...
