Now that there is news about Amazon unveiling a new Kindle or a new Android tablet on September 28, Barnes & Noble cant afford to stay too behind.There were some rumours earlier this month about the release of an all new Nook Color.As it turns out, the rumour is indeed true.
However, its interesting to note that according to The Digital Readers blog, B&N will be releasing two new tablets this year.So three new Nooks are supposedly on the verge of official release.The names of two new Nook Color versions – the Encore, priced at $249, and the Acclaim, priced at $349. The Nook Touch (now called the Nook Smart Touch) will remain $139.
The Digital Reader claims that the Smart Touch is a 6-inch Nook Touch while the Encore is a 7-inch Nook Color.The Nook Color and the Nook Touch are both excellent devices but the Color is a bit dated in these days of retina screens and Honeycomb.Encore was the code name for the original Nook Color, which suggests that Barnes & Noble may leave that product on the market as its entry-level Nook Color while coming out with a higher-end Nook Color (code name Acclaim) for $349.
With Amazon set to make its announcement next week, it shouldn’t be long before we hear from Barnes & Noble
