Barnes and Noble’s new Android tablet now available in some stores, could be related to Amazon’s Kindle Fire.
Barnes and Noble’s new Android tablet, the Nook Tablet, is arguably one of the biggest rivals of Amazon’s cheap but very Kindle Fire (also an Android tablet), and it looks like the competition is starting to heat up. A new report revealed that a customer has successfully purchased the device ahead of the November 16 release date.
The report includes a photo of the product’s box and the official receipt issued by the unnamed Barnes and Noble branch.
The Nook Tablet is powered by 1GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM and supports additional storage via the device’s MicroSD card slot. Barnes and Noble’s tablet is more expensive than the Kindle Fire, priced at $249, while the Kindle Fire is sporting the tag price of $199.
The Nook Color and the Kindle Fire undercut the Apple tablet, the iPad 2 and challenges other Android tablets running the “more advanced” Honeycomb operating system. For starters, the Nook Color and Kindle Fire are running “tweaked” Android operating system, skinned to offer a new user interface and own digital stores.
Kindle Fire will offer Amazon’s own application store, the “App Store,” and other app stores like the Kindle e-book, the Amazon MP3 and the Newsstand with magazine offerings. The Nook Tablet offers the same, Nook’s own application store with games and productivity apps, and supports third-party apps like Hulu Plus, Netflix and Pandora.
