See this link for the new Nook Color:

It will be Quad core versus single core for the Coby and dual core for the Kindle Fire.

From that article I see this quote: "However, Bob O'Donnell, an analyst at research firm IDC, said it isn't clear that any tablet running less than Android version 4.0, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich, can take advantage of the fast speed of a quad-core chip."

For me its still Kindle Fire. I'm loyal to Amazon and their brand of eBooks. I buy almost all my other internet purchases from Amazon and can really say nothing I have seen can beat the Amazon Customer Support. I wonder if Amazon will be giving us Android 4.0 to go with its alleged revolutionary Silk for tablets?!?
