Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy Tab seem to be split right down the middle, but the carrier onslaught is happening, anyway. AT&T is the only carrier we haven’t heard much from, but it looks like a leak has revealed pricing for the device along with a possible release date. Apparently, the Android tablet is going to go for $649 and may arrive on November 21st. A bit pricey?

The price is without a contract, of course, so if you’re looking to save some dough on the Galaxy Tab and don’t mind committing to two years with one carrier, you might want to check out the Sprint model. At AT&T, you can pick up the iPad 3G + Wi-Fi model for $629, which is $20 cheaper and arguably probably a better deal than the Galaxy Tab given the reviews.

If you have your heart set on the Samsung Galaxy Tab, it’s good to know you’ll have options. The Android tablet will be available from every major carrier in the U.S. just in time for the holidays.

    Nook Color is better for reading than iPad and better for everything else than Kindle. Nook Color is better for $249. Nook Color screen is supposed to be better (less reflective) for reading than iPad thanks to new LG screen with anti-reflection coating. It allows to watch videos, listen to the music, view Office documents and PDF’s. The Nook Color will not run apps straight out of the Android Market, but that does not mean it cannot run them. In fact, they have done a lot of tests on apps from standard Android smartphones and they pretty much run on Nook Color, which has Android 2.1 under the hood. (The Nook native interface and apps are just standard Android application layers.) Barnes & Noble special Nook SDK runs on top of the standard Android one and gives developers access to exclusive extensions and APIs for the Nook and its interface. So porting Android apps is not difficult. B&N says it is more like optimising them for Nook than porting them. If you prefer e-Ink screen, the original Nook is still available from BN.

    I still fail to see the value in one of these. Yes, its sweet looking hardware, yes it’s android, etc, etc. But it is only a slighly larger version of a phone that can do the same things. For real processing power and work, you are going to use a laptop. for casual browsing, most new droid phones fit the bill.
