Tablet Android News, A 7-inch e-Reader/Tablet Android Hybrid, NOOKcolor, Unveiled

a-7-inch

Barnes and Noble takes pride in introducing their latest e-reader/tablet, called the NOOKcolor. This might not be the iPad killer, but this could really be a good competitor with the Samsung Galaxy Tab. The Nook is known to be just an e-reader that enjoyed 20 percent market share, deferring to Amazon’s Kindle. It seems that they shifted their gear into a whole new level by turning it into a hybrid device.

Check some of its specifications:

• 7-inch color display
• Android OS
• 1024×600
• 8GB internal memory
• Micro-SD slot expandable to 32GB
• Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n)
• Pandora built-in
• Chess and Sudoko
• Facebook support
• Conde Nast and Hearst are partners
• $249

I do hope that they will use a better processor this time, at least 750Mhz processor with 512MB RAM plus, if its not too much to ask, a couple gigs of internal app storage, and Froyo that’s upgradeable to Gingerbread. I wish that this will have access to the Android Market too.
