17 Dec 09 Hackers run Facebook, Twitter and more on Nook

Now a days, when a company releases a new device onto the market, it’s only a matter of time until the hacking community has their way with it. Barnes & Noble’s Nook is no different, in fact considering it runs on Google’s Android operating system, hackers had a whole library of software at their porting disposal.

Said hackers were able to get a web browser, a Facebook app and a Twitter app running on the nook. Couple that with device’s free 3G connection and you have yourself an able mobile computing device. Unfortunately, Engadget reports that a port of Google Maps failed due to complications with the Nook’s native version of Android, bummer.

30 Nov 09 Good luck seeing a Nook before December 7th

Of course, we all know that the Nook is sold out and a recent announcement by Barnes and Noble has stated that there will be no Nooks for sale at the stores, at least until December 7th.

Not only that, the B&N stores will not even have Nooks available for demonstration purposes at least until that same date. So unless you pre-ordered this before November 20, then you will not see this Nook before Christmas.

01 Nov 09 Creative to Launch MediaBook Color eBook Reader?

For some reason eBook readers are more and more popular these days. After the Kindle we’ve seen Sony’s reader, Barnes & Noble’s Nook and Plastic Logic’s QUE. Asus is also working on a few eReaders and it seems that Creative decided to make one of its own. Dubbed the MediaBook, Creative’s eBook reader might be based on the Zii platform and it’s said to come with some very impressive features like a color touchscreen display ready to let you read all the eBooks you want and support for videos and pictures. Although this MediaBook did get leaked there are no leaked pictures yet. And it’s way too early for pricing details and release dates so we’ll all have to wait for Creative to announce the reader until we get too excited about it.

We just saw the unveiling of Barnes & Noble’s Nook ereader and already they have another hardware offering for you to choose from.

We first heard about this Plastic Logic developed ereader back in July when it was rumored to be using AT&T’s 3G network. Today, Barnes & Noble has come forth to announce that this ereader will be called the QUE proReader and feature a 8.5 x 11 inch e-ink display.

There is no word on how much it will be available but we do know that it will be sold at Barnes & Noble retail locations next spring.

14 Oct 09 Barnes and Noble eBook Reader Gets Leaked

There’s a brand new eBook reader in town, or at least there will be one starting with October 20. Barnes and Noble is ready to go against Amazon’s Kindle. Its new eBook reader is supposed to be unveiled at a special event in New York on October 20. Early pictures of the unnamed device have been leaked and we have some features available for you. The reader will offer you two distinct displays: an e-ink 6-inch display capable of 800 x 600 resolution, a secondary color LCD screen capable of 480 x 144 resolution and multitouch support and 3G connectivity. We have no prices at this time but we’ll be back with more news once Barnes and Noble makes this hybrid reader available.
