Journalists at The Mac Observer compared the performance of four devices such as Google Nexus 7, New ipad, Kindle Fire and Microsoft Surface . Then they made a visual comparison table with accurate specs available of table, you can look at it below. Journalists noted that Google Nexus 7 may affect future sales of iPad, but is unlikely to take the tablet market share from Apple. It is worth noting that both devices are in different price categories. The greatest damage will be inflicted on other tablets like Kindle fire and other tablets which are in same price range.
The Mac Observer journalists believe that the greatest impact will be caused to Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble Nook Color, but the last device in the comparison is not taken into account. The last Tablet Surface from Microsoft is unlikely to be affected, it’s a totally different price class, as well as the iPad. Therefore, the greatest damage will be a 7-inch tablet from Amazon and Barnes & Noble, that is, Kindle Fire and Nook Color. We want to remind you that according to recent rumors Kindle Fire 2 will be released in late July and the price of first-generation Kindle Fire will fall to $ 149.
