Barnes & Noble Planning Kindle’s Competition

When it comes to the more affordable tablets, Amazon’s Kindle Fire seems to be running away with the market.  It may be receiving more focused competition this Wednesday, when a new, 8 GB Nook Tablet is supposedly making its way to Walmart.

The Verge reports that the tablet’s smaller storage (half the on-board memory of the current Nook Tablet) should mean a lower price – one that would better compete with the Fire.  Details like processor speed and RAM remain unknown, as does the actual price of the new Barnes & Noble tablet.  Time will tell whether the cost and specs of the new Nook Tablet will be enough to draw attention – and sales – away from the Kindle Fire.
