Amazon Kindle Fire vs. Apple iPad 2

There has been much controversy over the new tablet by Amazon that averages at just around $200. Many love it, many hate it, but how does it compare to the Apple iPad 2? There is of course the obvious price difference of $300, but is buying Apple worth the extra money? I believe that Amazon has produced a very promising tablet that the average consumer should have no problem spending money on. More details in the below video.

iPad 2 - Wife Said No, Apple Said Yes!

Apple has been watching iPad 2 returns like hawks over the past few days. There have been a good few problems with backlight leakages, microphone problems and some other minor stuff. However, one guy returned his iPad 2 because it was greeted with a frown when he showed his wife. He returned the iPad with a sticky note attached saying 'Wife said no'.

Some guys at Apple clearly found this funny and a couple of the VP's found out about it. In true Apple style they decided to send the guy an iPad 2 with a sticky note attached saying 'Apple said yes'. What a lucky guy.

Just a nice little story I thought I'd share - good to know someone still has a sense of humor.

Angry Birds iPad 2 Case

As with any release of a new Apple product, the world is filled up with boring black and grey cases to help protect the iPad 2 should it fall out your hand and damage itself on the pathway. Wouldn't that be terrible? But never fear, the Angry Birds are here to help protect your iPad 2 and cheer up your day.

Angry Birds; the ridiculously addictive iPhone, iPod and iPad game, is one of my all time favourite apps, without a doubt. Gear4 have announced that they will be releasing a range of Angry Birds iPad 2 cases, which are so revolutionary - they even protect the back. Those crazy birds, what will they come up with next? This has to be my favourite design.

Imagine, you're riding the train to work on a cold, wet, Monday morning and the guy opposite you whips out his iPad 2 with that case on it. I defy anyone who doesn't break into even a little smile. It's just so cheery and happy - I love it!

There are a couple other designs; one which looks like the original iPhone Angry Birds case and another which shows Birds v Pigs in a typical Nintendo Smash Brothers style. Whichever one you get though, they are all really cool. All I need now is an iPad 2.

I had a browse around the Internet and found the red one listed for £24.95 at mobilefun.co.uk, which I thought was a pretty reasonable price. I presume that the other designs will be added soon, so keep a lookout.
