I now have these 2 tablets in my hand. I must say that waiting a year to
purchase any tablet has paid off, as new technology always improves and
comes at a lower price tag. (I never wanted to lug around a laptop!)

The highlights:

The Fire is snappier and has a nice rubberized back that is easy to grip.

The screens on both look great at the 1024 x 600 resolution.

I believe the future of movies is to watch via streaming. I do not want to
be bothered with collecting, copying, and storing zigillionbytes of video.
I can just watch what I want online and spend my precious time on forums!

Netflix is installed on both tablets, and the video is crisp and smooth, with
the wifi connection working continously and flawlessly.

The Android Market for the IdeaPad A1 gives it more openness and flexibility.

There are WiFi File apps that allow both tablets to transfer files to and from
a PC via the wireless connection. Also, both tablets can connect to the PC via
USB for file transfer.

Since the IdeaPad A1 comes with the full version of Docs-To-Go, there is a
companion app for the PC allowing file management between PC and tablet.

The Fire now goes with my Mom, while I am waiting for the release of my
leather portfolio carrying case for my IdeaPad A1 on December 28. Well,
I guess that is the price one must pay for getting the most current tablets.
