nook 2 To Be Announced Soon?
0
It has been quite some time since we heard anything about nook 2. We know it has been in the works for quite some time though. Could Barnes & Noble’s October 26 event be about the next generation nook device? That seems very likely at this point as nook has fallen behind Kindle. Considering that nook 1.5 firmware is expected to be released by B&N soon, nook 2 can’t be too far behind.
The 1.5 update includes improved search on the device, customized B&N Library organization and password protection. It also includes the ability to sync across all NOOK and all devices enabled with our free NOOK apps, by syncing your last page read. If you forget your NOOK at home, use the NOOK app for iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Android smartphone or PC to pick up where you left off. And, the next time you pick up your NOOK, the Reading Now page will be updated and ready to go.
nook 2 is expected to have a better display and an even more compact design. B&N could open the door for Android developers to introduce nook-specific Android applications to the market. Can nook get even more affordable? Amazon has set the bar very high at this point. Still, we do not expect B&N to introduce a $99 nook anytime soon.
