Barnes & Noble eBook out today, you might want to cancel that Kindle order

We’ve posted about the upcoming Barnes & Noble eBook and it looks like it is coming out next Tuesday, according to WSJ. While the Kindle has a physical keyboard, the Barnes & Noble eBook (the “Nook”) has a touch-screen LCD display that acts as a user-interface (keyboard, thumbnails…). It runs Android, the same operating system found in many smartphones and that leave the door open to third party applications as well. We’ll see, but in the meantime you might want to wait a little and check this new device out before jumping on the Kindle wagon.
