Amazon unveiled its Kindle Fire Sept. 28, and you’ll be hard pressed to find an analyst who will dub this Google Android tablet as a true rival to Apple’s latest iPad 2. While not comparing apples to oranges, comparing the Fire to the iPad 2 might be more like comparing a diminutive Clementine orange to a fat, navel orange. The iPad 2 has a 9.7-inch screen. The Kindle Fire offers a 7-inch display. The iPad 2 has got two cameras for photo-shoots and video chat. The Kindle Fire has no cameras. The iPad 2 has got a microphone; the Fire does not. The iPad 2 is available with 3G access. The Kindle Fire is WiFi only.
