Nook HD or Galaxy Tab 2 7"

[jamesban]

I need opinions on which tablet to buy. I want one with external card option so Ive narrowed it down to these 2. The nook HD sounded impressive with a faster processor and higher resolution. Then I heard it stutters in games and some apps and it actually runs slower and less smooth then the galaxy tab 2 and also the speakers suck. I also like it has a regular OS. So is the Nook HD still slower with recent updates. Does it run any better with Cm10.1 running from a card instead of the proprietary Nook interface? Will movies look good on the galaxy tab 2 even though its not HD? Most of the movies I watch will probably not be HD anyway but some games will be. TIA.
