Barnes & Noble fights Kindle Fire with $249 Nook Tablet

Another Android tablet for you to consider in case you were not confused enough by the many choices you have. ArsTechnica is reporting that Barnes & Noble has introduced its $249 tablet while taking shots at Amazon.

"Today in New York City, Barnes & Noble introduced the $249 Nook Tablet, an updated version of its 7" Android tablet, and a slew of software updates to its existing products while slashing their prices. In the process, B&N's CEO slammed almost all of the hardware Amazon offers as inadequate and poorly designed. It's a somewhat strange tactic for a company that was also proudly proclaiming that it had the best-selling Android tablet on the market, but B&N is clearly a bit concerned by the recent Amazon product introductions."
