If the Kindle Fire was around, I would not have bought the NOOKcolor. If the Kindle Touch was around, I would not have bought the NOOKtouch. I sold both and haven't regretted it. I do use the NOOK Android app on my tablet for magazines.

So, an aspiring author might say that in the next iteration of the sequence you just wrote, you might add:

If the new Nook Color II was around, I would not have bought the Kindle Fire.

(It will be interesting to see what happens.)

Not me. I'd still buy the Nook Color, because the Fire is missing the card slot.

I'm waiting for the Kindle Touch, because the Nook Touch is missing the audio player.

Are you honestly trying to tell someone else what does and does not disappoint them? Really?

Yes, absolutely when they state it in such a way as to include me and everyone else.

It's one thing to say "I" was disappointed in something, an entirely different thing to claim "many" are disappointed. (btw he has modified the post which I originally quoted in my reply to him) -- particularly based on his desired expectations...hell the thing isn't even out yet, but it sounds like he wants it to slice his bread and cook his breakfast.

That (as I said) is not the intended usage.

No intention to alter your meaning.
If you don't mind explain what you mean by that. Sometimes I delete spaces, and other times inconsequential remarks to show what I am addressing more clearly. If it was other than that you have my apology.

On the other hand, has anyone seen any specifications yet for the new Nook?

Yep. It's made of gold and makes fries in cross-cut and long-cut! But the screen does get pretty greasy from that, and it's hard to read in the sun with all that sparkling light reflecting off the form factor.

I'm assuming B&N will have at least 1ghz processor in it (and maybe a dual core for the higher priced one?), the good ol' SD card, audio, 512+ RAM, the B&N garden, and maybe a media app or two. They can't really do anything less and compete, and should probably do more to have a decent chance. Dual core, 1GB RAM, SD slot, audio ... I would say that would definitely be worth paying a little more than the Fire. And easily rootable. Or, they open up their gardens and make it so you don't need to root it to get most functions out of it.

I still won't get it, however. My A1 will likely have shipped that day (well, sort of likely, Lenovo is in its own universe right now), and I won't need to root it.
