The latest rumor is that Barnes & Noble is preparing to launch a new tablet by the end of the year.
Following in the footsteps of the Nook Color e-reader/tablet, the book company will release the Nook Acclaim for $350, making it a more fully featured tablet than the Color.
Prices for the Nook Simple Touch ($140) and the Nook Color ($250) will stay the same, giving B&N three devices in its line.
There was no word on specs, but an October release date was cited.
The device could be a response to Amazon's imminent tablet, which will likely retail for under $250 and be a strong competitor to the market leading iPad.
