Earlier this month Barnes & Noble made an announcement about their preparing a new tablet to compete with the Kindle Fire. The new 8GB version looks to be the same as their previous models that are currently selling for $249 but with a bit less space.

This being said the new tablet will cost less than its $249 big brother putting it around the same price as the $200 Kindle Fire. Walmart will be releasing the new Nook Tablet this Wednesday, February 22nd and are already at the stores now.

We can’t say much else about it as they will be pretty much the old model with a little less space to make it more affordable.
