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. |
again you are going off on a horrible misinformation tangent. The nook color's user interface is all about ereader and it's features. Its no different than th UI the Sony has or the kindle or the eink nook. All these interfaces are geared to be ereading centric. That is what the Nook color UI is and much much more. The nook color is capable of having features that eink can not provide or features that are as good as they can be when using LCD tech
the only area where is it geared towards shopping at Barnes and Noble is it's Shop App. Now how is that any different than the others. When you are on your kindle and you are shopping from your device, what bookstore does that bring you to?
The kindle or Sony uses eink to run it's screen, nook color uses LCD screen to runs it's screen.
Where does it say in the ereader manual that it has to be eink in order to be an ereader?
Also can you show me a press release where barnes and noble has claimed for this to be a full blown tablet out to compete with the iPad?
Actually can you give me one aspect of what the nook colors locked ui that is for "marketing"?
why would you even compare the two/ As has noah as said a rooted one would be a more logical comparision.
but Barnes and Noble has never meant for this to be a full feldge tablet, Only an ereader tablet. And that is exactly what it is.
It's an ereader that uses LCD Tech instead of eink that needs to have OS, it chose Android for that OS. The Android market and all the tablet like functions are locked out because it's and ereader not a tablet.
Now if BN announced they have a tablet that is going to be an iPad and Galaxy S Tab killer, they you have a great point, but they didn't. They even said right off the bat if you are expecting a full blown tablet, then you'll be disappointed. Apparently you didn't get the memo.
It's ereader nothing more nothing less.
Serious question, were you fired by Barnes and Noble or something?:
