Project Encore – Nook 2, Nook Lite arrive in 2010
April 17th, 2010 admin
Gizmodo claims that a tipster tipped them off on Barnes & Noble’s Nook 2 plans for 2010 – A full browser will be added to the Nook via a firmware update in the third week of April 2010 (next week). By the end of the second quarter B&N will release Nook Lite. It’s a $199 WiFi only eReader. Nook 2 (also called Project Encore) will release later in the year. The Full Browser Software Update Adding a full browser to the Nook would be a big step forward. Given that the Nook has WiFi support, Android, and that tiny color touchscreen the lack of a browser was particularly puzzling. With the rumored update users will be able to check email, check the news, and so forth. B&N will…

Barnes & Noble Nook (Wi-Fi) E-B...Price points are very important when it comes to consumer electronics products, and $50 here or $100 there can mean a lot in terms of sales--especially at price points below $300. And that's precisely why Barnes & Noble brought out the Wi-Fi-only version of its Android-powered Nook e-reader for $149. At that price, you start to get into impulse-buy territory and attract folks who've been sitting on the e-reader fence, waiting for prices to drop. And the fact that you're reading this means you may well be one of those people. Price cuts aside, what's nice about this model is that the only difference between it and the $199 Nook 3G is that it's had the cellular radio removed, shaving off half an ounce to bring the unit's total weight to slightly more than 10.7 ounces. And--oh, yeah--its removable back cover is white instead of gray. But in all other respects, the two devices are identical. Currently, there are a handful of other e-readers in this price class, including the $149 Borders-backed Kobo E-reader and the Sony Reader Pocket Edition; both have smaller 5-inch screens and lack Wi-Fi (though the Kobo does offer some limited Bluetooth functionality). In releasing the Wi-Fi-only Nook, Barnes & Noble upgraded its Nook firmware to 1.4, adding "seamless" support for free AT&T hot spots around the country, an extra jumbo font size for those with poorer vision (you can now choose among seven font sizes), and some performance tweaks that allow books to load slightly faster <b>...</b>
