Sure, we can’t say we didn’t see this coming – Barnes & Noble today launched its answer to the Kindle Fire. The new Nook Tablet certainly isn’t all that new from an aesthetic standpoint, compared with the Nook Color. Walking into a store blind, it would be awfully tough to distinguish the devices – though the Tablet is bit lighter, color wise. What separates Barnes & Noble’s two higher end readers is largely internal. Unfortunately, the products being show off at today’s event weren’t quite ready for prime time.
We managed to see a bit of video demoed on the thing, and certainly the screen looked quite nice as it played back the trailer for J Edgar and flipped through the pages of a Spider-Man comic. Unfortunately, we’re going to have to spend a bit more time with a final version of the product before we feel comfortable recommending the Tablet, given its $50 premium over both the Nook Color and the Kindle Fire. Check out a hands-on video with the device after the break.Gallery: NookTablet hands-on
