The company anticipates it is going to become a popular stocking stuffer for Christmas as it is said to possess far more game titles, ebooks (surely convenient with regard to kids books to utilize its color abilities), magazines and many others. In keeping with this, an electronic Newsstand is on the way for magazine and newspaper subscriptions. Just so that you are completely satisfied, a 14-day trial period will be available.
This kind of tactic is possibly responding to the iPad entering into the eReader niche. The colored eReader is also believed to have got its very own app store, web browsing and music streaming. This bold move by Barnes and Noble has surely upped the ante for eReader capabilities.
BARNES AND NOBLE
The device is planned to be launched mid-November just in time for viewing before Christmas time. In our judgment it certainly is an excellent response to the iPad but still remains true to it as an eReader at heart. There are enhanced and extra functions but its main thrust continues to be the reading experience and it did not get lost along the way trying to become an iPad wannabe. When speculating on a brand new device it is always a balanced exercise when it comes to price tag and capabilities. Here Barnes and Noble will not have wanted its would-be purchasers to consider just adding a couple of more dollars on an iPad. Instead they still wanted them to buy an eReader with Nook features.
Just to provide you with a little something to think about, the new Nook Color will have a 7 inch backlit touchscreen display capable of 16 million colors. IPS or In-plane switching permits approximately 178 degrees viewing angle. Therefore even if it's tipped a bit the display will not instantly disappear on you. Additionally the new Nook Color will have an impressive 8 GB built-in storage which means you actually might not make use of the microSD slot for its expandable memory. Wi-Fi functionality has stopped being a premium capability in the eReader industry and consumers expect to get it as industry-standard - the Nook Color doesn't disappoint there. As for the 3G capability of its other high end competitors the response has to be no! It will definitely have a web browser and the trademark Lend-me book function that allows the book buyer to loan a book to one friend for a limited time frame. It can also be utilized in either portrait or landscape mode. We are expecting that the battery life will not be comparable to the days or even weeks of battery life in non-color eReaders unless different technology is unveiled, so like everyone we await the battery life specifications anxiously.
Insiders also say that the company is reaching out to different software makers for the device's "Nookextras" and that Pandora is already part of the group. What other surprises await? Stay tuned!
