Today Barnes and Noble announced the Nook Tablet, their latest device that they intend will compete with the Amazon Kindle Fire. In my opinion the announcement of this $249 device helps sharpen the picture of the tablet market into low-end and high-end tiers.
The high-end tablet tier is dominated by the Apple iPad as no other tablet manufacturer has been able to come up with a serious competitor. Google’s Android 3.0, “Honeycomb” tablets were intended to be competitive alternatives, but Google and their hardware partners have not been able to produce compelling devices that cause one to chose it over an iPad.
Barnes and Noble shocked mobile industry observers by selling a respectable number of the Nook Color, which has been their premier 7-inch, LCD color eReader.
