Hands on with the Nook Tablet

Barnes & Noble released the Nook Tablet back in November and it's caused more than a bit of a stir in the "budget" Android tablet market.

Does it live up to the hype? I like mine, but there are some severe limitations to the machine.

Gosh I love hanging out with my kids but their taste in things like TV is just the worst. I think that they need some other hobbies since they spend so much time in front of the tube but we did just go to http://www.satellitetvfamily.com/ and get a load of new channels so I don’t really know what I expect from them. They used to be really athletic and sporty and they were always outside riding their bikes and playing baseball and things like that but once they hit middle school and they kind of grew awkwardly? That didn’t really pan out for them anymore so they took to playing lots of video games and watching a lot of TV. I know I need to encourage them to get out more but it’s so nice to have them home where I can watch them. They’re so young and I just miss them already (miss them in the sense that they’ll be going off to college in a few years.)
