The Fire uses a state of the art dual-core processor the TI OMAP 4 as compared to Apple's A5 dual-core processor. The speed of these two processor's check in at 1Ghz so nothing is lost in a comparison of processor speeds. The Fire features 8GB of storage and does not offer the option of increasing memory where the iPad does. However Amazon offers free online storage through the Amazon Cloud, for all your digital content accessed via Amazon.
