Apple's new iPad and the Kindle DX

I've been following the introduction of the new Apple iPad today.

Since I've been an early adoptor and enthusiast for the Kindle, I though I would share a few thoughts about this new addition to the "slate family" of tools.

1. There's no question that the iPad is beautiful. Apple always excels at product design.

2. Bringing out a color iPad at the same price as the 16-shade greyscale Kindle DX is a masterful marketing move.

3. For many users connectivity is an issue. The Kindle has unlimited connectivity at no cost. Unlimited annual connectivity for the iPad will add up to approximately the initial purchase cost of the machine. ($500)
