7-Inch Android-Based Barnes & Noble Nook Color Gets Unveiled, November 19th For $249

Today, Barnes & Noble has just announced their latest e-book reader and it's the Nook Color. That's right, colour! This was unveiled at the company's "very special event" and sports a 7-inch touchscreen IPS display (1,024 x 600 resolution), the Android OS, and a mere 8-hour battery life. This is definitely a step down from the 10-day battery life of the e-ink Nook - Tech Land points out. This will be available and shipping on November 19th for $249. Check out the hands-on from Engadget if you want.
