Nook Tablet: pictures of Barnes & Noble’s attack on Amazon

Jeffrey Van Camp
By

Barnes & Noble didn’t just unveil the Nook Tablet today: it waged war on Amazon. Unlike any presentation I’ve seen in some time, B&N ripped apart Amazon’s new Kindle Fire, disgracing its design as a ripoff of the BlackBerry PlayBook and criticizing Amazon for locking customers into the Kindle media stores. The harsh words were backed up by a strong showing as well. We found the Nook Tablet to be a fiercely competitive new device, delivering superior performance to the Kindle Fire in a number of ways and still delivering a low price of $250–more expensive than the $200 Kindle Fire, but cheaper than everything else. 

The pictures above highlight some of the slides Barnes & Noble CEO William Lynch showed at the event as well as the Nook Simple Touch ($100), Nook Color ($200), and Nook Tablet ($250) in action. Check out our full impressions of the Nook Tablet for more info.

iPhone SE 4: news, rumored price, release date, and more
The Apple iPhone SE (2022) and Apple iPhone SE (2020) together.

While the spotlight always seems to be on Apple’s mainline iPhones, the iPhone SE is a great pick for those who are on a budget. If you want an iPhone that doesn't break the bank, the SE is the way to go.

The original iPhone SE came out in 2016, and then Apple revamped it in 2020 and 2022 by giving it some more modern hardware. The iPhone SE tends to get updated every two or so years rather than annually like the traditional iPhone. This means  that we should see a new iPhone SE 4 this year, but it’s not so cut-and-dried with this particular model.
