iPod touch or Kindle Fire? Comparaison between iPod touch and Kindle fire

I was wondering if I should get an iPod Touch or Kindle Fire.
What I like in Kindle Fire that supports flash, and iPod Touch has camera's and can use mics.
Which do you think is the best to go with? Which one would you buy and why? They are exactly same price on both 8GB models.

What really makes me think about it is the price, now that they are all $199. I do more gaming and than listening to music, and I know Apple's App Store is the largest, of the books I looked at, they are all the same price on all.


Trying to decide between iPod touch and Amazon Kindle, either for yourself or as a gift for someone else? There’s a lot to consider — the quality and dimensions of the hardware, the features and flexibility of the operating system, the availability and diversity of the content, the difference in cost and value, and we’ll take you through all of it, point by point, to help you decide.



Price:
If you only have $200 in your budget, you’re better off considering the Kindle Fire or the much smaller iPod touch. Kindle Fire is $199, iPod touch starts at $199.

Design:
Kindle Fire has a 7-inch screen. iPod touch has a 3.5-inch screen. the iPod touch for more on-the-go, interstitial use. Kindle Fire is medium sized, can fit in most large pockets. iPod touch is small and ultra-mobile, easy to carry anywhere

Location:
If you live outside the U.S., Amazon has such limited content support that it might as well be non-existant. Apple by contrast has good support for apps and increasing support for music, movies, and more around the world.

Connectivity:
Kindle Fire and iPod touch are Wi-Fi only

Apps and games:
Apple still has the most apps in mobile, including over 100,000 specifically built to take advantage of the over a half-a-million for iPod touch. If games are a consideration, the App Store typically gets them first and with the best, most fluid graphics. Amazon has built their own version of the Android market with less content but arguably better creation than Google’s.

Hardware:
The iPod touch is high-quality glass and aluminum with okay display, though has a lower screen technology (no inter-plane switching) to keep costs down as well. The Amazon Kindle Fire uses the BlackBerry Playbook chassis which is great but not Apple great.

Software:
Apple built the iPod touch to fully take advantage of their iOS operating system, including all the great features like FaceTime for free video calls, tons of great built-in apps, and Safari, the best mobile browser in the business.

Amazon has built a special version of Google’s Android Gingerbread OS specifically tied to the Amazon store and to best show off Amazon store content. Because it’s a “fork” of Android, it doesn’t get Google’s apps like Gmail, Navigation, or Market.
