Trying to decide between an Apple iPad 2 or iPod touch and an Amazon Kindle, either for yourself or as a gift for someone else? There's a lot to consider -- the quality and dimensions of the hardware, the features and flexibility of the operating system, the availability and diversity of the content, the difference in cost and value, and we'll take you through all of it, point by point, to help you decide.
The first and easiest filter is simple geography. If you live outside the U.S., Amazon has such limited content support that it might as well be non-existant. Apple by contrast has good support for apps and increasing support for music, movies, and more around the world.
iPad is literally twice the price of the Kindle Fire and while an argument can be made that the iPad is by far a better value, if you only have $200 in your budget, you're better off considering the Kindle Fire or the much smaller iPod touch.
iPad has a 9.7-inch screen. Kindle Fire has a 7-inch screen. iPod touch has a 3.5-inch screen. The iPad is good for running more expansive apps and immersive content, the iPod touch for more on-the-go, interstitial use. The Amazon Fire is a great compromise between the two size.
If you need to access the internet away from your home, work, school, or other Wi-Fi hotspot, currently only the iPad has a 3G option. If you don't have easy access to a Mi-Fi or tethering, Kindle Fire and iPod touch go offline.
The iPad has amazing fit and finish and is absolutely best in class in most areas, with the notable exception of the rather pathetic front and rear cameras. The iPod touch is similar, though has a lower screen technology (no inter-plane switching) to keep costs down as well. The Amazon Kindle Fire uses the BlackBerry Playbook chassis which is great but not Apple great.
Apple built the iPad and the iPod touch to fully take advantage of their iOSoperating system, including all the great features like FaceTime for free video calls, tons of great built-in apps, and Safari, the best mobile browser in the business. Amazon has built a special version of Google's Android Gingerbread OS specifically tied to the Amazon store and to best show off Amazon store content. Because it's a "fork" of Android, it doesn't get Google's apps like Gmail, Navigation, or Market.
Apple still has the most apps in mobile, including over 100,000 specifically built to take advantage of the larger iPad screen and over a half-a-million for iPod touch. If games are a consideration, the App Store typically gets them first and with the best, most fluid graphics. Amazon has built their own version of the Android market with less content but arguably better curation than Google's.
You can also get a Kindle and other Amazon apps -- and Google apps -- for iPad and iPod touch, but you can't get Apple apps for the Kindle Fire.
Both the iPad and iPod touch have been on the market for years and have tons of great cases and other accessories available. Also, Apple allows accessories to connect via dock port, Bluetooth or AirPlay, meaning you can connect your iPad or iPod touch to a wide arrange of gear and gadgets, everything from cars to cameras to Apple TV, to special-purpose scientific instruments. Amazon Kindle Fire is just hitting the market so it will take a while for a lot of accessories to come out.
The iPad is best if the big size is a plus and not a minus for you, if you want the most apps optimized for the most screen real-estate, if you want 3G connectivity, and something that can better replace a laptop or netbook for light computing work.
The Kindle Fire is best if you live in the U.S. and are a heavy user of the Amazon Store, if you want something smaller, lighter, and cheaper than an iPad but bigger than the iPod touch, and if media focus and pocket-ability is more important than flexibility for your needs.
The iPod touch is best if you want the smallest, lightest, cheapest, most mobile solution possible, if you want the most app and accessory choice available, if you want something that's as close to a phone-style experience that possible without being a phone.
The Kindle Fire is Amazons inclusion into the electronics market. With their success with the Kindle, they have produced a tablet called the Kindle Fire.
At the end of the day, it's just a larger version of any "smart" phone running android, but smaller than most tablets.
The difference is that the kindle fire is thicker but has more chances than the nook.
A Kindle Fire is a Kindle that you can read AND play games on, and a Kindle Fire HD is the same thing, except in high definition(HD).
kindle fire is new and better touch

Fire
A Kindle Fire can do far more; it has a full web browser, a color LCD display, thousands of apps and games, even more videos and TV shows, and more. The Kindle Touch is a touchscreen eReader with a very basic browser (bookmarks, cookies, and history) with an eInk display. Basically, the Kindle Fire can do a lot more, but the Kindle Touch is a way better eReader.

The Kindle Fire HD offers a higher resolution display and improved performance compared to the standard Kindle Fire. The HD version also usually has better cameras and sound quality, making it a more premium option for users who want better multimedia experiences.
The answer to this varies from person to person, but here are some things that might help you decide. The kindle is for people that like to do a lot of reading. The ipod touch is too small and will strain your eyes when reading for too long on it. If you like watching videos, both the Kindle fire and the ipod touch can do this, but the kindle has a bigger screen so it's easier to watch videos on it. If you listen to a lot of music then the ipod touch is the best choice for you. Both the ipod touch and the kindle fire have apps and can browse the internet. If your priority is mobility then the smaller ipod touch is the best choice for you.
obviously, you are the one buying them
