Wow that was a great video! I always wondered how the nook would stack up to the Tab. I think it stacks up pretty well on all levels except on the graphics card the Tab does render graphics better.
One thing he did not show was video, flash, and games, activities which do push the CPU. Last point he does mention both have bluetooth but fails to mention BT does not work on the nook and hacks that do work are still in the experimental stage. =X= |

My comment was based on the reviewer claiming a feature set that wasn't existent. To be fair bluetooth is now supported CM7, but it has not made its way to nookie, the android version he was using.
However to answer your question bluetooth gives the nook: -Ability to transfer files to any bluetooth device, no need for a network out cables. -Ability to tether hardware: keyboard, mouse, etc. -Ability to tether nook -Ability to print -Ability to connect a head set and listen to music -Ability to stream music -Ability to make VOIP calls, with a headset that has a microphone. Off the top of my head those are some of the things to gain from having bluetooth on the nook. =X= Last edited by =X=; 03-17-2011 at 02:53 PM. Reason: Fixed grammer, curse you auto correct |

So if I had a bluetooth mouse for my netbook, I'd no longer have to plug a USB dongle into it like I currently do with my wireless mouse? |

My brother use to have his laptop hooked up to his TV. He bought himself a fancy BT gyro mouse and keyboard. He use to use the mouse as a remote control to play HULU and Netflix movies off of his laptop/TV. My favorite use of the BT is when I stream music off of my phone to my BT head set when a call comes in, I just tap a button on my head set and it answers the phone. Once I'm done with the call the streaming music resumes. =X= |

Other than that, it's handy. I personally love my Plantronics 590 wireless stereo headset - great headphones with an extendable mic. |
