Hands On With The Nook Tablet: Can It Put Out The Fire?

scaledwm.IMG_4019The Nook Tablet, announced last week to much fanfare, is a follow-up to the company's popular Nook Color and a direct competitor to Amazon's $199 Kindle Fire. I've only just got this device into my hot little hands so expect a full review this week but initial impressions are good. The device is about as big as the Nook Color and the Fire, although the Tablet is considerably more streamlined than Amazon's offering. The OS is clean and clear with a small ribbon of icons along the bottom of the home screen for video and music as well as newsstand and book apps. There is also an apps menu consisting of a number of preloaded apps including a mail app, Doodle Jump, a crossword app, Hulu Plus, and something called "Angry Birds" that appears to be a bird-spotting companion.
