Barnes & Noble Cuts Prices on Nook Color, Tablet
In perhaps one answer to the question of how tablet makers will react to a more crowded market for small screen tablets, the L.A. Times reports that Barnes and Noble is dropping the price on its Nook tablet by 10 percent, undercutting the Amazon Kindle Fire by $20. The company's Nook Color is also shedding $20, and will now cost $149. I'm glad to hear it; I've been using a Nexus 7 lately, and finding the size (like a trade paperback, including a protective case) far handier and more often used than any of the 10" tablets I've tried.

Tomorrow is another day...
I have both a Nook Color and a Nexus 7.
It's not even close! If the Nexus 7 is $200, then the Nook is worth no more than $100.
The Nook has no camera and no microphone, useless for video chat. Video chat is SO easy on the Nexus 7, even my mom can do it.
Nexus 7 is much smaller and thinner and it's the same size screen.
Performance: on this score the Nook is worth maybe $50 compared to the Nexus 7.
The ONLY advantage of the Nook is the micro-SD card slot.
