Barnes & Noble Nook Headphones Revealed

Barnes & Noble has secretly revealed some new Nook branded audio gear for the loyal Nook tablet user, just because. The lineup consists of one pair of on-ear Nook Audio OE250 headphones as well as one pair of in-ear Nook Audio IE250 headphones designed with an old too familiar generic style that doesn't seem to impress considering the vast amount of good quality headphone offerings available. But it's a nice try, Barnes & Noble. The important juicy details aren't yet available, but what's certain is that the in-ear headphones will retail for $19.95, and we're only guessing the on-ear headphones will run around $60.

The new Nook has improved long-lasting battery life which lets you read for up to 2 months on a single charge. You won't find any 3G inside the new Nook unlike the first generation except for built-in WiFi. The new Nook comes with pre-installed 2GB of memory that is expandable via microSDHC up to 32GB. It's 35% lighter and 6% thinner and over an inch shorter than the first generation Nook. The new Nook is now up for pre-order for $139, and starts shipping on June 10.

Everyone Wants A Piece of the Apple Store

Does this look familiar to you? This is Barnes & Noble's new Nook in-store product placements or show room if you like to call it. This is very similarly planned to Apple's store showcase of products, with working display Nooks for customers to interact with. 

And here we have Microsoft's store which even more resembles an Apple store with similar product placement, lighted logo and mixed color shirted employees everywhere.
