Released yesterday in the United States, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook is a co-branded version of the popular low-end 7in tablet, featuring Nook apps and plenty of other bonus software and media bundled in for prospective readers.
Based on the impressions seen around the web, the Galaxy Tab 4 Nook is effectively unchanged on the hardware front from the standalone model, featuring the same 1280×800 display (216 ppi) with 8GB of internal storage (with support for microSD cards) and a 10-hour battery.
It’s available in white and black, and sells for the same price in the States – $179 (about R2000) with the instant discount factored in. What might make this version a bit more appealing is the bundle of free content, which Barnes & Noble values at more than $200, including free eBooks, episodes of television series, and trial magazine subscriptions, plus a $5 Nook Store credit.
No mention yet of a release outside the United States, but unless you want to wait for the possibility of a local batch of media freebies (unlikely given how hard it is to get a standard Nook this side), the standard Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 accomplishes the same thing.
