Lilliputing has some first impressions of the new Nook tablet style readers coming out for the holiday season. The Nook HD and the Nook HD+ are the new additions, the former a 7″ model and the latter a 9″ model.
It’s nice to see that they are running a more modern version of Android, at V4.0, which was supposedly a watershed moment for the OS in terms of user experience. Physically, if the pictures are accurate respecting the final version, looks like the distinctive carabiner is gone, at least on one of the models (the 7″ possibly?) They’ve also made some nice improvements in terms of making it more that just a reader, adding Bluetooth and B&N’s own video store. Most importantly, they’ve got a nice price point with the basic model starting at $199.
I’ll look forward to seeing some more reviews as we get closer to a launch date.
