Bookseller Barnes & Noble (NYSE: BKS) expanded on its Nook line of handheld devices and unveiled the Nook Tablet on Monday.
The company also announced upgrades to its Nook Color, a device that was previously offered as its entry into the tablet market, and its Nook Simple Touch e-reader.
The Nook Tablet, which is available for pre-order online and at the bookseller's stores, is priced at US$249 and is scheduled to ship by around Nov. 17.
"When it comes to all consumer electronics across all segments, the sweet spot for the average selling price is $200 to $250," Michael Morgan, a senior analyst at ABI Research, told TechNewsWorld.
"I suspect this price point will resonate for consumers," Morgan added.
"We took all the past 12 months' learning [since launching the Nook Color last year] and put it into this new device, and so we're furthering our device," Theresa Horner, vice president of digital content at Barnes & Noble, told TechNewsWorld.
What the Nook Tablet's Got
The Nook Tablet has a 1 GHz dual-core processor, 16 GB of storage and 1 GB of RAM, Barnes & Noble said. Its battery handles 11.5 hours of reading time or nine hours of video viewing.
The device runs Barnes & Noble's customized version of Android Gingerbread.
The Internet radio app Pandora is preloaded on Nook Tablets; Rhapsody, Grooveshark and MOG are available with free 14-day trials. Nook Tablets also have built-in music players so owners can listen to stored music.
The Nook Tablet has a 7-inch VividView screen from LG Electronics; comes preloaded with Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX), Hulu Plus and Pandora; and will offer "thousands" of Nook apps, including the ubiquitous "Angry Birds," "Rio," "Scrabble" and "Ms. PacMan."
Other content includes more than 250 newspapers and magazines available through the Nook Newsstand. These include Time Magazine, People and National Geographic.
Apps for kids, such as Drawing Pad and Dr. Seuss's Cat in the Hat, are also available for the Nook Tablet, and more are on the way.
The Nook Tablet also lets users browse the Internet, and it comes with built-in email capabilities. Owners can share books and browse and borrow books from Nook friends, and users' content is stored on the Nook Cloud.
