They are both good for health and pretty easy after lots of practice. The only difference is that in ice-skating you can only skate in ice rinks, while roller-skates have specially designed indoor rinks and you can skate outdoors. But not on ice.

Inline skating is very much like ice skating. A person like me who inline skates often, picked up a pair of skates and was able to skate very fast and well. If anything, its a little slippery-er

None. They're just different names.

The company that made them popular, is called Rollerblade. Because of that name, they were called rollerblades. That means that this isn't the actual name, and the correct name is "inlines" or "inline skates" or "inline rollerskates", though I haven't heard of the latter.

It's not fine, because there are other manufacturers, like, for example, K2...
