    64 bits is a good balance. If the iPad Air had a 65 or 66-bit processor it would add even more weight.

    You joke but Samsung would totally make a 65-bit chip if they thought it would help their image.

    Amazon got one thing right, it is lighter in everything.
    Less processor, less screen size, less weight, less apps to put on it, less quality.
    Better comparison Amazon should compare there's with the Samsung copy cats.
    There's a lot less of everything there as well.

    Hey. Worthless imbecile. Get run over by a Google self-driving car. Stop making accounts here. Stop your spam. You want the law brought down on you?

    I keep reporting these spams but nobody seems to care.

    Personally I'd get one of these for the sole purpose of using the Mayday button for laughs.  I'm betting we will be seeing a ton of MayDay joke calls on youtube soon


    My question is do you get the same hottie every time you push the button (as the ads imply)?  I don't want to have to get to know a different attractive perky technician each time I call mayday.  But seriously I don't know how Amazon can offer that free live 24x7 (video) support.  Presumably you have to pay those folks more than the typical voice-in-India support person since they have to have more skills (and can't roll their eyes at stupid questions).

    I don’t see the previous two accounts’ posts anymore. Marvin and melgross are doing a good job.

    I don't think it's lighter in WiFi or sound. Possibly camera too. Just sayin'.

    Well then my iPhone 5 is also lighter than the iPad Air....and the Kindle Fire. Does that make my iPhone lighter than Air and hotter than Fire?

    In other news, the Toyota Prius weighs less than the Mercedes S class.

    Probably - but it's still heavier and colder than an iPhone 5s. :D

    They are almost identical in the longest side of the rectangle. Within a couple hundredths of an inch by my quick estimates drawing it up in AutoCad. 7.78".  I just used (4:3 @ 9.7") and (16:9 @ 8.9") diagonals. Not exactly scientific but the difference appears to be negligible.

    Auto analogies almost never work when applied to consumer electronics. Besides which of those two autos sells more?

    I couldn't find any actual screen dimensions, but overall they have the same length. Since I doubt that the borders around the screen are smaller on the kindle, my money is on them being close to the same with the iPad coming out very slightly larger.

    Of course that goes without saying that for every other application the two screens aren't even close.

    Off topic: Can you explain how we can read your posts if you're banned? And why you got banned in the first place?

    It's awful reading your post and responding when you have that big "b" around your neck. /s

    Apparently I had previous infractions and a couple posters got under my skin and thus the fifth one. Needless to say, i now will use the block list more liberally.

    The "banned" tag should go away eventually.
