The Nook Color is not a tablet. However, they do have a Nook Tablet and it has better specs than what is listed here for the Nook Color, so perhaps a better comparison should be completed before people go out to purchase their Kindle Fire or I Pads. The Tablet is only 249.

Wow… you guys are really at it…lol I always like the best of everything and the best technology that is out there. But since I got laid off a couple of years ago.. Don’t want to over spend for the situation. Want something I can read books on as I just moved and tossed hundreds of books and never want that to happen again.. I’d like to use email and whatever else it can do. I live in a place that just got iphones. Can you imagine? I had them for years and had to get an android. ATT broke my contract! lol

Alyson, good comment! The remark is condescending, no matter how you spin it. It’s also off the mark.

My question is simple: If I want something for work or play, which should I buy? For play, seems that a Kindle Fire is a very good, lower-priced opton. If I want something that allows me to combine work and play, iPad is the right choice.

Allyson…I’m a gal and I agree that you are over-reacting. If he’d said the now-politically-correct “partner” instead of “wife,” you wouldn’t have known the gender and you wouldn’t have jumped to your assumption. Assume the best of people, not the worst. Chill.

Umm…Steve Jobs is out of more than day-to-day business. He’s out for good.

Once hotspot is enabled on the phone, you just connect to it like any other WiFi network

How, exactly, do you tether or hotspot to your 3G/4G phone?

yes, the competitive disadvantages is the $500-800 price tag for something that is essentially a media device. As stated above, the Kindle Fire only needs to be about half as good to be already a better value.

In a crunch, you can tether (hotspot) your 3G/4G phone with the Kindle Fire to gain access to the internet.

I’m pretty sure that I’m going to purchase the Kindle Fire, but I am unclear on something… If you have the Fire and are not in a wifi hot spot, what can/can’t you access? Ie: it sounds like you can still access your ebooks- but what else?

There was no competitive disadvantage for the iPad?

do you not own a phone? What do you need your tablet to have GPS on it for? Bluetooth? Again, what, exactly, do you need Bluetooth connectivity for on a tablet? Some of these features are just rubbish. It will never replace your phone, unless you’ve got some big freakin pockets.
