Amazon announces it's coming out with two tablets, now B&N says it's coming out with two tablets. B&N can counterpunch!
I agree the 7" will be a refreshed NC. As to the 10", I just don't see the business case for a full on Android tablet, with access to the Android Market. B&N is in business to sell B&N stuff, not Android Market apps and games. According to that report, there is some connection between B&N and a gaming company. My bet is that B&N will bump up it's app store, and go big into gaming, especially children's and educational games. Children's books were a big part of B&N 's original NC push.who knows, they may take a shoot at some streaming video business, too, now that Netflix is showing vulnerability.
Now this is not fulfillment of Android fan's dreams, but B&N has it's investor's demands to meet, first, last, and always.
