Yes, it\u2019s true, the Nook Color eBook reader is, for all intents and purposes, an Android tablet, and Barnes &amp; Noble has not been too shy about calling the Nook Color \u201CThe Reader\u2019s Tablet.\u201D As of tomorrow, however, the book retailer will drop all pretenses and call the next Nook, the Barnes &amp; Noble Tablet. Mashable will report live from the unveiling starting around 9:45 a.m. ET.\nThe event could be something of a letdown as huge amounts of detail about the tablet have already leaked. The Barnes &amp; Noble Nook will reportedly be very similarly to the Nook Color in size and shape (7-inches and roughly a half-inch thick). It could be a bit lighter and thinner. Inside, it may offer a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM. These specs are notable because they potentially both out-do the recently launched Amazon Kindle Fire. It offers a 1 GHz dual-core CPU and, reportedly, 512 MB of ram. \nFor now, it\u2019s not clear if the Nook will also, as the Fire does, run Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) or the new Ice Cream Sandwich release (Android 4.0). Though, it\u2019s a good bet the Barnes &amp; Noble Tablet will run the former instead of the latter.\nThe confidential Barnes &amp; Noble presentation making the rounds also depicts an interface that is not remarkably different from the current Nook Color, but we haven\u2019t seen color screens or enough detail to know just how much versatility Barnes and Noble has built into its new tablet. The current Nook already includes an email client. Will it also have its own proprietary web browser (similar to what\u2019s now in the Kindle Fire) or will it use the Android browser?\nThe similarities between Barnes &amp; Noble's latest offerings and what Amazon unveiled a few weeks ago is rather startling: Both are pushing a full-blown content consumption tablet (though Amazon\u2019s may be $50 cheaper than the Barnes &amp; Noble Tablet) and, just like Amazon, Barnes &amp; Noble is now reportedly set to offer its original E Ink devices at bargain-basement prices. Its Simple Touch E Ink ereader may be offered for just $99 starting Tuesday.\nJust as with the Amazon Kindle Fire, Barnes and Noble should deliver its new tablet well ahead of the holiday-buying crunch. We\u2019ll soon learn if the leaked details found in Barnes &amp; Noble's presentation tell the full and accurate story of if the company has some other surprises hidden up its sleeves. Be sure to check back in here at 9:45 a.m. ET when we\u2019ll kick off our live blog and bring you every single detail. \n\nUPDATE: Barnes &amp; Noble Launches Nook Tablet\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
