Rumor: Nook Color coming next week

Although unconfirmed, CNET is reporting today that Barnes & Noble is preparing to unveil a full color version of the Nook e-reader device at an event next Tuesday.
CNET says the source "has proven reliable" in the past year but this should still be treated as a rumor for now.

The new Nook Color will have a 7-inch screen, with a retail price of $250.

Just like its predecessor, the Color will run on the Android mobile OS and offer a multi-touch experience.

B&N will continue to sell its current line of Nooks, which will see a major software update in the near future.

It is still unclear what kind of full color display will be used.
