Well, this is definitely a bummer. Barnes & Noble has spent a fair amount of time talking up all of the [Nook Tablet's](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/15/barnes-and-noble-nook-tablet-unboxing-and-hands-on-video/)internal advantages over the [Kindle Fire](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/15/barnes-and-noble-nook-tablet-unboxing-and-hands-on-video/), a list that includes 16GB of storage to the Fire's 8GB. That particular spec may not be quite as good as it looks on paper, however. It seems that Barnes & Noble is currently limiting internal storage on the Android slate to 1GB of content not downloaded directly from B&N (as you can tell by the above shot, we're nearly full after less than a day with the device). Bummer, right? Especially for those expecting to store their multimedia content on the device. It's not all bad, though. Keep in mind that, unlike the Fire, the Nook's got a not-so-secret weapon -- expandable memory via a microSD card slot located behind the tablet's distinctive loop. We've reached out to B&N for comment, and we're guessing a firmware update will remedy this PR nightmare in 3... 2... 1....
