I agree that the Nook Color's pricing is more attractive, but the specs aren't equivalent (I don't think anyone would dispute that). The Tab is a "premium" device, the Nook is more "value" oriented.
I don't claim to know the definitive specs of either device--just what I read, which could be wrong--but I believe the Galaxy Tab Wifi will have a faster CPU (1GHz vs 800 MHz), better graphics (SGX540 vs. 530), video out, bluetooth, a GPS chip, rear and front-facing cameras, and full Android marketplace (the Samsung guy claimed).
For me, those features are a powerful argument for laying down more cash. Worth twice the price? I still haven't decided. I will need to spend some hands-on time with the Nook and see if I get the same "wow, that's really nice" sensation I got when playing with the Tab.
