New Kindle E-Ink Tablet is almost a clone of the current Nook.

It looks like Amazon is banking on the word "Kindle" as the Official Media Word for E-Reader (just as the media use "Tivo" instead of "DVR").

I've been running Gingerbread on my Nook Color for about six months, with an open Android Market. (Admittedly you have to be a "techie" or have someone do it for you.)

At this point, most of the difference between devices is software that I don't want, since I don't want to be tied with an umbilical cord to Apple, Amazon or BN.
Yeah once the smoke clears you find outside of a dual core processor it's not a huge advancement over the Nook color that is a year older.
This is an interesting spec comparison.
