Nook Color $249 vs Galaxy Tab wifi $350: Is Nook Color at $250 still a better deal as compared to Galacxy tab, assuming I will root it ?

VERY easy to root. You just need a decent SD card (with usb reader...I got a class 10 32 gb card) and instructions which can be found on the Facebook page "Customizing Your Nook Color". It was MUCH easier than rooting my Galaxy S phone. I am having a blast with my new tablet computer. I watched a Netflix movie start to finish yesterday with nary a stutter. Plus I have both my Kindle and Nook libraries on the device. Oddly (and perhaps ironically), the Nook app force-closes more often than any other app on the device (but it's not bad at all).

No. Color tablet only. And, you must buy a card that matches your Nook....by model and memory size.

You could google these things, and you should really know exactly what you're doing before you spend money on it.1. $02. XDA-Developers is a website, and you should lookup tutorials on youtube or elsewhere.3. Android is free.4. The only cost is for the Nook and the SD card.

Dede, I don't think that T-Mobile even sell this one anymore. This one is being sold by a 3rd party and the software is extremely old by Android standards. If you want a decent Android tablet for about the same price then go directly to Google and purchase a new one from them. You can get a 7 inch from Google that does WiFi for only $229 and will be much faster have up to date software and have better resolution that this old tablet.

You can check ebay but the price may be more than the tablet itself.Coby is not in business anymore also.

Most likely the one with the higher price has the newest update, but if you connect it to WiFi it will automatically update for free.

If your main use is reading (in school), a cheaper alternative would be either the Kindle or Nook E-Ink reader which would only cost $100. I just purchased a Nook Simple Touch ($99 & about 8 ounces) which has a battery life of two months before recharging. It allows sideloading of your own books, has a MicroSD slot, and allows purchase of books as well as software updates using Wi-Fi.Nook Tablet & Kindle Fire have much shorter battery life but are crystal clear color screens, allow video, email, web browsing, games, weigh close to a pound, and cost $200-$249.

it was a nook tablet , the second gen that came out, it is the "Tablet" model, however all the cords I have purchased from B&N were marked as Nook Color cords and worked with my Tablet, this cord works just as good if not better than the B&N cord, plus it is 4 times cheaper. I recommend giving it a chance.

You need to puchase 3g version of ideaoad k1. Unfortunatly, most of the retailers are selling wifi version only. Also, galaxy tab 3g 10.1 inch cost you $200 more than the galaxy tab 10.1 wifi version. Any 3g tablet costs more than its wifi version.

As far as I know, the HD version of the Nook is a newer (not necessarily the latest version) of the nook. It has complete wifi access to various apps and the web and the internet. I think technically it is considered a tablet (as the name indicates) and not just an ereader.

The Nook Color can take a 32GB memory card so this should work just fine in it.

My nook is BNRV200, color. I would be guessing if I said yes. But if you want to look the dimensions up for both it would give you your answer.

I'm not sure how it compares to the Galaxy Nook but I do use my tablet to read. In addition to the Nook app I also have the Kindle and Kobo apps so I'm able to read books from any major ebook seller.

Guy in my office has the G-Tab and said this very thing. He feels there is no need to root it now unless you feel you really need more "freedom" like the full Android marketplace etc. I'm ordering mine tonight now.

I ordered my cm7 sd card from Nook Unlocked here on Amazon. It's a bit cheaper than N2A. I had an issue getting on my home wifi but resolved it be changing the encryption on the router. Other than that it has been smooth sailing with the nook and cm7. So many apps you can try for free to see if they fit your needs. So far I've got my family organizer, email, budget, games, news, my favorite websites bookmarked in addition to my books. It's really like a mini laptop you can carry in your purse. I bought a refurbished one from ebay and put in the SD card and haven't looked back.
