Barnes & Noble will announce a lower-cost Nook Color tablet computer that matches or beats the $199 price of the upcoming Amazon Kindle Fire.
Barnes & Noble already sells a 7-in. Nook Color for $249 that was first announced Nov. 19, 2010, and was updated to Android 2.2 in April. The 7-in. Amazon Kindle Fire tablet, announced Sept. 28, will be available Nov. 15, eight days after the Barnes & Noble event.
In addition Barnes & Noble could announce a sub-$100 black and white e-reader to compete with low-cost Kindle e-readers from Amazon, analysts said.
The most far-reaching idea has Barnes & Noble announcing a new model of the Nook Color that runs a quad-core processor, up from the single-core and dual-core processor from various tablet makers.
The key for all the platforms could well come down to the number of available of apps, an area where Apple clearly reigns. .
