Barnes & Noble introduces Nook Tablet (live blog)

$249




ScottStein:
Nook Newsstand discussed. 35 special-edition magazines, and hundreds of others.

Nook Comics app. Hmm.

Claiming "best ePub reading experience." Focusing on pinch-to-zoom, etc.

Apps shown. Showtime, Pulse, and of course Angry Birds...

"people aren't always connected to the cloud." 16GB of memory and expandable SD card slot for an "extra 32GB."
Nook Cloud. Mentioned briefly as a place to store digital content.

Running over the advantages now. "better display--superior viewing angle." Fully laminated display. Claiming Kindle Fire uses "off the shelf" display with an air gap, non-laminated.

1. They'd sell a lot more of them if they changed the name to "Nookie"

Of course, that would require a rather extensive range of USB accessories.

3. If it doesn't web surf and have email capabilities I am still not buying.

I have enough gadgets already, lol. Gotta be a huge improvement before I buy.

6. nook color does that but it's slow and heavy. i switched from

kindle to nook color because i have been a longtime b&n customer and because the color included web surfing. i just wish it was lighter and windows-based.
