Another thing is, the browser's speed on Galaxy Tab is extremely fast. You can't tell for sure if that person is using same Wifi connection or proxy or if that page was in the Nook Color's cache already. In my experience, browser's comparison are not easy to video tape; in order to be fair, you need to set and clear a lot of factors so you won't get biased results because the cache, internet connection or even browser's default setting.
About comparing Nook Color vs Galaxy Tab that makes total sense to me. They both are tablets, I do not understand why people say Nook Color is an ereader. Nook Color runs on top of Android, similar screen size than Galaxy, has capacitive LCD screen and no keyboard, that's a tablet! The Nook Color UI has been customized (and locked) for marketing purposes so you can only see the B&N "front face" and applications. Besides that there is the price tag which of course, means a faster and better product with the Galaxy. |
Actually, I never said that the Nook Color surpasses the Galaxy Tab in anything. I agree with you completely that the Samsung is superior in probably every way. What I said, is that it is not that far in functionality considering the price (but the Galaxy Tab is better).
I still respectfully disagree with the comparison for two reasons:
1. Price
2. The Nook Color is locked down as an ereader which slows it down considerably and strips away functions. For example, using Zeam launcher, Set CPU, Dolphin Browser HD, Aldiko (for Landscape epub viewing), etc. changes things considerably.
Don't you agree that out of fairness, if you are going to compare them as full tablets, you should at least compare a rooted nook color to the Galaxy Tab? And also, when you pay twice as much as something isn't it expected to be a better product?
All I'm looking for is making a comparison based on price/value and also the full capabilities of each.
