I wanted to see how well the iPad worked in comparison to the Kindle in different lighting situations. To be somewhat fair I tested the Kindle app on the iPad to the Kindle 2 device. You can see the results of my very unscientific test below.
The first test is a side by side in a well lit room
Both devices fair well. I still really like the Kindle screen for long term reading since it has a non-glare screen which can result in less eye strain.
The next test was in a dark room.
Without a light the Kindle doesn’t work at all, but then again neither does a regular book.
The next test was in direct sunlight
The Kindle is the big winner here, but even though the photo doesn’t show it well, the transflective screen on the iPad is very useable in direct sunlight. What is interesting is that it worked better with the sun shining right at it, over being just in the shade.

This has got to be one of my new favorite features of the iphone. The Remote app allows you to use your phone as a remote for iTunes and the appleTV. While using it on the appleTV when ever they is a point on screen to enter text the phone changes to the above screen. Typing is real time with what you type appearing on the TV right away. It’s nice.
