Gmail Security
iPad vs. E-readers
Electronic book readers have been one of the hottest tech gadgets the past few years. And, now, the iPad is about to shake things up. Of course, it's much more than just an eReader, offering movies, Web surfing, games and more. Nick Bilton of the New York Times said the iPad will help ramp up competition with Amazon and others. "One of the things that I think is really exciting is that you're going to have a lot of options with where you can buy books on this device. In the past, when you purchased a Kindle, you purchased books from the Kindle store. That was it," Bilton said.
"With the iPad, you'll have the opportunity to purchase books from the iBookstore or the Kindle store or the Nook store or any other number of stores that are available."
That should help drive down prices and increase innovation.
