That opinion is primarily affected by the price that one paid for the Pandigital Novel. You probably paid $60 or less (as I did). Then yes, it would be "outstanding relative to price". But really, the WPDN hardware is a little more than a step up from the no-name generic Chinese tablets. I doubt that anyone paying $170-$200 (the non-clearance price range) would claim that the Pandigital Novel is outstanding.

The difference in hardware between the NC and WPDN is far greater than the $50-70 difference in price.

I have an iPad1, a hacked WPDN, and now a rooted NC. WPDN is a fun little gadget to tinker around with and experiment. But the screen quality is poor. Performance is merely adequate. That doesn't mean that people can't find it usable and useful.

Being able to compare both NC and iPad1 side-by-side, I can honestly say that the NC color does indeed appear to be crisper and cleaner. Lemurion has explained why that is.

Performance of just a rooted NC (running the preloaded 2.1 version of Android) is surprisingly good. Nearly on par with the fluidity of the iPad.



I'm curious to see just how many people who buy nook colors are actually rooting them.
