Reduction in Price by B&N, though Google Nexus 7 Seems best



Barnes & Noble are a threat for Amazon’s Kindle. It has been noted that Nook performed better than Kindle, as there were so many features like best WI-FI tablet and so on that makes the Nook, best in the market. However, with time, Kindle has been able to beat the Nook as best E-Book reader and Google Nexus 7 has been able to beat the both. Until now, it has been the battle between B&N, Amazon and Apple. However, now the Google is also joining the race. Amazon has been complaining from day one of the launch of the Nook tablets that B&N is charging $50 more than the Amazon Kindle. However, now finally Nook manufacturers have understood and they have reduced the price of the Nook tablet by $50. Now you can have your Nook tablet at $179 for the 8GB variety and for 16GB model, it is not costing $199 only. The price of the Nook color has also been reduced and it does cost now $149. It does appear as well that B&N might come with new model by the end of this year. However, it is now sure that the Nook is going to cost you less than Amazon Kindle and Google Nexus 7. However, still Google Nexus seems to be at the top. It’s a challenge for Nook App Developers.
We are right now in summer 2012 and it does appear that Google Nexus 7 is the best 7-inch Tablet that you can buy right now. You need to pay same $199 as the Kindle and Nook. Yet you get some of the best features like Bluetooth, Camera, GPS and better graphics. You are also being provided with the full Android Google Play app store.
You should know that Amazon and B&N provide the curate versions of this app store with much less number of apps. You will also see the Nexus7 to provide you an access to all e-Books through various apps from Amazon and B&N. this is something awesome and great news for business mobile development.
The weight of Google Nexus 7 is just 12 ounce and this is much less as compared to the weight of Nook Tablet and the weight of Kindle Fire, which are respectably 14.1 ounce and 14.6 ounce. The Nook color weighs around 15.8 ounce that is certainly quite close to one pound. We are approaching the fall and hence the Christmas buying season is certainly on cards with all mobile application developers working hard to come up with new. It is quite certainly that both the Amazon as well as Barnes & Noble might come up with the new products and the launch of a smaller Ipad is on cards. Hence, it is wise to wait until then before buying any new model.
If you do feel that you cannot wait then you might have to regret if you find an updated version of the model you just purchased in just a few weeks time. However, there are some recommendations of the 7-inch LCD tablet that you can buy. Let us name one that is now even cheaper. It is Barnes & Noble Simple Touch with Glow light, which is the latest version of the Nook Simple Touch and this is the only e-ink model that will give you the self-illumination. It is a touch screen e-reader as well as you will find it to be ad-free as well as compared to Amazon Kindle.
