Yes! It is true. Barnes & Noble, the country's biggest retail book-seller, came into the tablet computer market Monday with the launch of its brand new Nook Tablet. Retailing at $249, the gadget is intended to go toe-to-toe with the iPad and the Kindle Fire. I read this here: Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet competes with Kindle Fire and iPad
Yep, we had a feeling this one was coming. As expected, bookstore mega-chain Barnes & Noble has launched its answer to Amazon's Kindle Fire (and to a lesser extent, Kobo's multimedia Vox slate) -- also as expected, the thing looks an awful lot like its predecessor, the recently discounted Nook Color, right down to the metal bar on the bottom corner. Granted, B&N did already make the leap into the tablet space, when the Nook Color was upgraded earlier this year -- but the Nook Tablet brings more than just a new name, of course.
