“Barnes & Noble Unveils Full-Color, Android-Based Nook”
The NOOKcolor features a 7-inch backlit IPS display and capacitive touchscreen. It weighs in at just under a pound and comes with 8GB of built-in memory, which can be expanded up to 32GB with a microSD card. It also features a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack and a micro-USB port. It also has built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi.
Abandoning e-ink is a terrible idea for dedicated e-readers (although what can you do to exist on the market when you’re between the Kindle and the iPad? talk about a rock and a hard place), but this looks like a rather nice mini-tablet. At $250, it’s gonna be interesting once it’s rooted and you can install vanilla Android on it. (Although I’m not certain you’d be able to use the Android Market even if you did that — isn’t access restricted?)
