Nook Color 2 leaked online, will be called Nook Tablet.
Nook Color is an e-reader but due to its operating system, Android, advanced users have been able to root the device to run their own custom ROMs.
For starters, rooting the Nook Color will allow a user to install “unsupported” applications and run third-party programs, making the device more tablety similar to Apple’s iPad and other conventional Android tablets.
Barnes & Noble has achieved success due to popularity of the Android and the popularity of e-books, and the company will try to reinvent the Nook this year, by dropping the “Color” and adding the “tablet” word — the Nook Tablet.
According to multiple leaks posted online, the new Nook Tablet is actually the rumored “Nook Color 2″ that will arrive in stores this month.
Leaks say the Nook Tablet is powered by dual-core TI OMAP4 CPU, includes 16GB of internal storage plus microSD card slot for additional storage, and 7-inch vivid LCD screen. Similar to other tablets, the new Nook Tablet or Nook Color 2 also offers web surfing, e-mail and games via the book store’s own Android application marketplace.
No word yet about the tablet’s screen resolution, its RAM, size and weight, but a site said the new Nook is thinner than the older model.
Apparently, B&N will compete against Amazon’s cheap Kindle Fire Android tablet ($199), and it looks like the company has a chance based on the tablet’s specs and “openness.” However, the book retailer’s new tablet is more expensive than the Kindle Fire, and leaks have confirmed that it is priced at $249 almost $50 more expensive than Amazon’s.
The new Nook Tablet, still according to multiple reports, will land in stores and online on November 16, which is actually the Kindle Fire’s “shipping date.”
Can the new Nook Tablet outsell Amazon’s Kindle Fire?
