I would suggest you to see the comparison of Kindle Fire HD VS Nexus 7 VS new iPad 3 if you are comparing products before purchase. iPad mini would be a good choice to look forward in the near future. The playground is now open. Are you ready for games??

Well well well, I wish to insert iPad mini in my comparison list but it isn’t in the market yet. Anyway, it will be my nexy comparison table with iPad mini. Back to the topic, Kindle Fire HD is the next best selling hotcake in tablet market [my guess] due to the low price tag. Kindle Fire 1st generation got itself even cheaper now with only $149, $50 price down upon the new release of Kindle Fire HD. Amazon admitted that the new Kindle Fire HD 7 doesn’t get any profit by selling the hardware but to create channel to make better retail on their Amazon products like ebook, mp3 and online shopping.

I’m struggling to get an Nexus 7 Wifi version as it was not a very good portable table without 3G service. If Nexus 7 come with 3G service, that is perfect for me and I believe it was a very encouraging news. It was kind of to have Nexus 7 ship to Malaysia and Singapore even on the Wifi version Nexus 7. According to Paul O’Brien over at MoDaCo claims that Asus is preparing a 3G-enabled variant for launch in “around six weeks,” with production already underway. If it is real, Nexus 7 3G will be on my hand soon. No price revealed on the Nexus 7 3G but definitely higher than the USD$199. I guess, USD249 8GB with 3G will be a great price for value. What do you say??
