Kindle Apps For Tablet Computers Supports The iPad

on 03/22/2010, filed in Home > Apple

If you were wondering whether Amazon might be able to see eye-to-eye with Apple regarding eBooks, it looks like there is some hope, as Amazon’s website is currently boasting its Kindle Apps for Tablet Computers, which also supports Apple’s upcoming iPad. It functions similarly to the iPhone Kindle app, with Whispersync technology and allows you to access all of the books you’ve purchased for Kindle. It’ll certainly be interesting to see how this development might (or might not) affect Amazon’s Kindle eBook reader. After all, this means that iPad users won’t have much need for a Kindle eBook reader. Do you think that this is a smart move from Amazon, or did the online giant just shoot itself in the foot?

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.

iPad: the iPad is Apple's tablet computer. While not "invented" by Apple (the newton was arguably a PDA), the iPad has re-ignited the tablet format as it appeared at the right time, with the right hardware and apps. the first iPad was launched on April 2010. It was followed by the iPad 2 in March 2011 and a new iPad (gen 3) in 2012.
