Just updated my black/white plain nook to the "Nook Tablet" couple days ago.
For those of you that don't about nook it's basically Barnes and noble's e-book reader similar to amazon's kindle. I love being able to read a book without fumbling with pages, losing my place and possibly damaging the book itself.
I originally chose nook over kindle because I read a vast amount of complaints about how easily kindles broke. My brother-in-law was here last 4th of July and his kindle broke for it's 5th time while just chilling in his bag. It's a free replacement if kindle/nook break under warranty but I just didn't want to hassle with sending in a kindle as many times as he had to.
This new nook "Tablet" is amazing compared to my old nook and here are some of the reason why I love it: colored screen, able to browse the internet via WiFi, free apps to access your netflix, hulu and pandora accounts already installed, 1 GHz TI OMAP4 dual core proccessor, 516MB RAM if you get the 8GB Tablet unless you go with the 16GB with 1GB RAM <--I went with this.
Only downside was that 12GB of the storage was saved for Nook content only but this is easily resolved by using a mircoSD card with an additional 32GB.
Word on the street is this blows Kindle's "Fire" out of the water.
Also I just want to talk about one app I just purchased for $5 called "Splashtop Remote" that let's you access you at home desktop from anywhere with a WiFi connection through the nook. It even routes all the sound to the nook as well if you want it to. SO say your in class or at a Starbucks and you want to show someone a video, song, file, game that's only on your desktop at home, if it's turned on, you can just control your computer with your Nook. Pretty Wicked!
read a few reviews where grandparents used this app with their nook to spy on their computer while the grand-children were using it. LOL, totally could screw with your friend's with this app.
I'll post more if I find any problems with it.
