Next Generation NOOK Tablet Is In The Pipeline

The tablet market is an extremely competitive one, although Apple’s iPad has more or less dominated the scene for the longest time already. Well, the folks over at Barnes & Noble are currently working hard to prepare the launch of its first new tablet since the last release which happened a couple of years ago. In the company’s most recent financial report, it was apparent that B&N is currently talking to potential hardware partners when it comes to the development and manufacturing of a new color NOOK device which should hit the markets in early 2015.

Having said that, this does not automatically translate to waiting for nearly a year – or more, until one manages to catch a glimpse of a next generation NOOK tablet. After all, B&N’s fiscal year would end at the end of April this year, so the chances of seeing a new tablet from B&N could also happen later this year. We do know that this upcoming device will feature a color display, but other than that, there really isn’t much else known about this particular device. The thing is, will B&N be able to deliver a tablet that can keep up with the times, and even so, will the masses bite?
