Barnes & Noble’s NOOK Color has begun shipping, earlier than expected, meaning pre-order customers will be getting a premature treat as a 7-inch color touchscreen ereader drops on their doorstep. The Android-based slate will also start showing up in Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Walmart and Books-A-Million stores this week; if you order online today, you can apparently expect your NOOK Color sometime in the week of November 26.
Your $249 gets you WiFi for wireless ebook downloads and web browsing, though don’t expect the full Android experience. That won’t arrive until hackers get their hands on the NOOK Color; after all, a well-made Android slate with a decent sticker price is hard to argue with, and we’re guessing getting this rooted is top of many peoples’ agendas.
Meanwhile B&N has promised an update to the e-paper based NOOK (both the 3G and WiFi-only versions) which will arrive next week.
