Barnes And Noble Announced Its New $249 Nook Tablet

Today Barnes and Noble announced its Nook Tablet, the next-generation version of their current $199 Nook Color. Compared to its main competitor $199 Kindle Fire, a dual core $249 Nook Tablet has 10GB more storage and the capability to add up to 32GB through micro SD card. Also it includes a superior screen and the popular Neflix and Hulu Plus for watching videos. The app library makes up a considerably smaller part of the Android market, but it better controlled so only quality applications are allowed in.

Actually, the Nook Tablet or the Kindle Fire are not real competition for the iPad. These cheap tablets are competitors for the iPod touch for $188. Price is the main factor that puts these tablets in line with cheaper iPods. For customers who want a larger display and don’t need many advantages of Apple ecosystem, buying of these tablets might make sense.
