Follow-up on e-books, iPad, and Kindle (with a few choice words about the iPhone4)

This seems to support my general impression: The iPad is a vastly more powerful device, and priced accordingly. The Kindle, though the latest version has some extra capabilities, is specifically an e-Book reader. As my bureaucratic masters like to say, it is a “point solution.” The iPad can do many other things, is much more powerful, and priced accordingly.
