Barnes & Noble will be unveiling the Nook Tablet this Monday, which will cost $50 more than the Amazon Kindle Fire. Where does that leave consumers that don't want to go higher than $199? Well Barnes & Noble will continue to market the Nook Color, and they will drop the price $50 to $199. Along with that, they are including a new software update (Nook Color v 1.4), which will add Hulu Plus for access to TV shows, movies, and documentaries. Music will come from free trials of Rhapsody, MOG, and Grooveshark. Last but not least, more magazines are coming as well as special Nook editions.

If you still want something more budget-friendly than how about the Nook Simple Touch? Its price is going to drop to $99 from $139. The Simple Touch will also receive a software update to version 1.1.

Robert lives in upstate New York where he was born and raised. Technology was always his passion. His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
