Nook 2 to have color touch interface? | Good E-Reader Blog - Electronic Reader and Tablet PC News:

"Specs wise, the new Nook will have a 7 inch display and is likely to be called Nook Color. Price wise, the Nook Color may retail for $249, which if true will be be a real bargain. More so if the Nook Color’s iPad beating credentials turns out to be true. This will let B&N to tap into the higher market segment, while towards the lower end, it will still have the Nook. Also, with this move, its will mark a change of policy at B&N as they no longer be seen chasing Amazon but is aiming higher and newer pastures."

The price is decent for trying to take a chunk out of the iPad market. I'm more interested in the $100-orbiting e-readers and tablets out there. If the new color Nook can get the same app-crazy cachet as the iPad then the price is well justified and I may be willing to spend the extra bucks.
