Pssst ... Nook 2 Details

Geek.com: "Book retail chain Barnes and Noble has called for journalists to appear on Tuesday to cover an exciting new announcement that it looks likely will prove to be the Nook 2 e-reader… and according to sources speaking with CNet, the Nook 2 might be something worth getting excited about. Like the original , the new product will be an Android-based e-reader, but unlike the original Nook, it’ll be in full color. Christened the Nook Color, the new device will be a 7-inch device with a color touchscreen display and powered by Google’s Android operating system. It doesn’t seem to be a tablet, though. For one, the price is much too low at just $249; for another, the unnamed source claims that the Nook Color won’t have nearly the same functionality as, say, Apple’s iPad or Samsung’s Galaxy Tab." About $100 more than the Wifi Kindle - so I don't think Amazon has to worry this Christmas.
