I am debating between the Samsung Galaxy Tab and the NOOKcolor. I really don't need much, but I am interested in the 3g access (which I might not need) and available apps for the Galaxy (but I don't even really know what is available for them either). But I would mostly use a tablet as a reader as I find I do most of my reading at night, so I would really like the NC for that. I know I can get a B&N app for Android for the Galaxy, but from what I hear the NC reader is hands down better for reading. I also have mostly sideloaded books and I don't want to have to use two different apps for reading my books. I want them all in one place if that makes any sense.
I wanted to know if, when using the browser (stock and installed browsers after rooting), you can access sites just as you would on your computer? Or are they like some of the mobile sites where you can't access some things? On my BB I can see most sites as I would on my computer, but I can't do paypal. I was wondering if I can access everything on the browser with the NC? Or are there paypal apps for android that work on a rooted NC? I am mostly interested in being able to process credit cards.
Also, is the Galaxy Tab locked into a carrier? Like if I go to the US and buy one, can I get a data plan here in Canada? I already have a Nook so I know how to get my NC to buy books here, and I know it doesn't have 3g (maybe a way to install a chip?), but I have access to wifi a lot so I might not need it.
I realize either might not do exactly what I need, but I don't want to carry around two devices. The ipad is way too big, so it is out of the running. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
