Barnes & Noble's Releases New Nook Tablet

Barnes & Noble has released an improved version of its 7-inch Tablet PC named Nook. It has a 1 GH dual-core processor, a 7-inch screen, and weighs less than a pound. It can run video for 9 hours. It is compatible with Netflix video libraries and Hulu Plus.

The Nook is pitted directly against Amazon’s Kindle Fire. Nook, which costs $299, is slightly more expensive than Kindle Fire but it is faster than Kindle and has more memory too. The price compares extremely favourably with Apple iPad which costs $499. Given that, Nook may well prove to be a threat to iPad too – though iPad is almost in a class of its own.’

The release of Nook at this juncture is bound to make the catch the festive fervour ahead. We can only nod wisely and say “The timing seems to be perfect!”.

About Sprightly Spirit

“I dare do all that may become a man. Who dares more is none”. And all, may be. It may be the vigor. Or the spirit. Or the courage to avoid being “politically correct” or bent. And, ban all averse with immaculate overture of graciously fathomable words firm in views. Subtle. Justifying the undying conscience. Values. Knowledge. And, dares to stay true. True to own. True to the world. And, to the words. With a dream in eyes it exists. In you. In me. In all. The sprite that never shies away. The spirit that never dies!
