What I don't understand is what sets it apart from the $600 Samsung Galaxy Tab which is also 7" touch screen running Android. What's the trade-off for the $351 savings? A 3G radio circuit can't add that much. Just locking out full Android access isn't enough to explain the savings. Anyone know?
it's because the price point of the Galaxy was set by Jobs, as it's a direct shot at the iPad, while the price point of the color Nook was set by Amazon with the original Kindle pricing. It's not about what it's worth, but rather what the market will bear.
