Some blogs are saying that the next BN ereader is in
color and runs
android OS. Could someone just have all their facts mixed up? In the video with the BN guy, he mentions that you will be able to read books on your iphone, blackberry, and motorola cliq, an android device. You can get the BN ereader application for the iphone and blackberry now, but not android, so this sounds like a news item.
Imagine this scenario:
Quote:
BN guy walks by BN development cubicles and asks, "What cha' working on?"
Dev person, "Ebook reader for android."
BN guy, "So is it going to be black and white like the Kindle?"
Dev person, "Eh, it's in color."
BN guy, "Ch-ching! Color BN ebook device running android! Got to go!"

or perhaps this scenario:
Quote:
BN sale person 1: Crap, irex announced their reader that makes our unannounced reader look like, uh, crap!
BN sales person 2: What do we do?
BN sales person 1: Uh, uh, just make stuff up!
BN sales person 2: Grey is a color right? Ours has COLOR! And the light that blinks when you press a button... we'll call that the optical bio-feedback indicator. Heck, lets just dumb it down to 'L.A.S.E.R.'. And as for the multi-frequency invisible spectrum tuner...
BN sales person 1: That blogger streaming to youtube is here! Lets just go with the color spin.
