can't wait to play sudoku, crossword puzzle on nookcolor with my partner on flight.
maybe solitaire and other card games too ? $250 for 7" touchscreen IPS panel is pretty darn impressive |

Yeah. That is the way I thought it ought to be. People have a 3G phone that can create hot spots do not need WiFi. One of the reasons that I am so disappointed in the Samsung Galaxy tablet is they put in a lot of extra bells and whistles (3G, dual cameras, GPS, etc) that I don't need and at a price that is even more outrageous than the iPad. A lot of my friends and I have been waiting for a nice and reasonably priced Android tablet. After 1/2 year from the debut of iPad, all we get is either some low end under power crap or this ridicously priced Galaxy tablet which is to be sold as a PHONE with a tethered data plan The Nook Color is a breath of fresh air among all these android tablet chaos and I can't believe it is a book company that seems to get it. |

Not B&N's fault, no Android device is allowed access to the standard market unless it supports 3G, so they have no choice but to run their own.

Anyway, I'm pretty impressed with my Galaxy Tab. Didn't touch my iPad since I've got iPhone4, simply too bulky and heavy. Didn't touch iPhone4 since Dell Streak and Galaxy Tab. |

Too bad by all accounts, besides the size diff. this seem to be a much better overall product than the iPad. |

Hacked in seconds by the 1% or less of consumers willing and able to hack electronics. The general public, which actually determines whether is a hit or not, just doesn't like modifying devices. Even here at MR, where we do like hacking things, the percentage of people actually jailbreaking their nooks or Kindles doesn't seem to be that high.

I have an iPhone which I jailbroke when I first got it. However, I reverted back to stock because, well, it didn't add any functionality I needed. Tethering was OK but I have an aircard so it didn't add anything for me. Now, I am an IT architect by trade. I design systems for large groups of users for a living. I think that affects my enjoyment of the results of my hacking. When I hack into something, I want the added functionality to fall within the same framework as the original. I explain it like this: if you are making an addition to your house, you want it to look like it was always part of the house. You wouldn't want to add a Victorian wing to a 1960's ranch house, I don't think. That's the way I feel about hacking and probably why I reverted the softroot. Having said that, I am an avid user and supporter of Linux. Last edited by lionel47; 10-29-2010 at 01:49 PM. Reason: Corrected spelling. |

Ok. This is more like it. The Galaxy tab finally has a WiFi model. Rumor is it'll be priced at $499 at Best Buy. |

Why resent it? I'd buy a Nook Color and I know about the bazillon tablets, too. But I also know I'm not typical.
