If Apple would add an IR transmitter to the Ipod/Ipad devices they would rule the aftermarket remote control world.

While iPad2 is going to be good and on par in features with Galaxy tab, it’ll probably cost the same $500 – $800 as the current iPad or even more. However, for $249 you can now get Android eReader/tablet hybrid device which combines the better parts of both eReader and tablet worlds. Such device is Nook Color from Barnes & Noble which has USB port (unlike current iPad). Nook Color has a new generation screen which is anti-glare coated and is better performing in sunlight and for reducing eye strain than current iPad’s. The screen is one of the best and sharpest on the market and it’s viewable at wide angles. It is great for PDF’s, much better than Kindle. From the cost side, while more expensive than e-Ink Nook or Kindle, you can buy two Nook Color’s for the price of one iPad. One can say that there’s not many apps available for Nook Color – yet. Nook Color has several apps that already come with the device (Pandora Internet radio, QuickOffice, etc.) Also, Barnes & Noble recently released Nook SDK and Nook Developer platform that will allow most of the existing 100,000 Android apps be ported to it. With each firmware update, the device will become better and better and more and more apps will appear for it. Don’t forget that it was only released in November of this year and (according to the new reports) B&N is scheduled to ship more than 1 million units by the end of 2010 – yes, in a little more than one month! Rest assured, a lot of existing and new Android apps will be flowing in for this device very soon.
