Many companies are announcing new tablets and e-readers today and more are sure to follow in the coming weeks. Barnes and Noble intends on announcing a new tablet within the next month or two and rumors are swirling on what they will release. An anonymous source has claimed that the new tablet will bump up the display resolution to over 243 ppi. It is also said the new hardware will be lighter then previous models, which should make them a bit more pocket friendly.
Other rumors entail a new video store that will offer downloads and rentals straight from Barnes and Noble. This may account for the HD resolution that the tablet is said to have. We should hear some solid information coming down the pipe within the next month.
