There are many different Android powered tablets currently on the market but the arguable best bang for your buck comes from the Nook Color. Originally destined to be an eBook Reader, the Nook Color features a 7-inch display, 800MHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 8GB of storage, built-in WiFi and ships with a customized Google’s Android ‘Froyo‘ 2.2. Upon taking it out of the box the Nook Color may not act like a typical tablet at all but thanks to some clever hacking it becomes a full featured $250 tablet.
In fact, it seems as if the Nook Color has been getting more buzz as a hackaable tablet than it has as an actual eReader. According to recent reports, Barnes & Noble is none too pleased by this and have halted sales of the product. The reason for this, again according to reports, is that Barnes & Noble may be looking to release a “hack-proof” model.
If this is true, it most likely wouldn’t be long until the community hacked this hack-proof device but we can’t even confirm its existence until Barnes & Noble comes forth to say more. Expect an announcement soon.

 What you are seeing here is a watch band for the iPod Nano, sixth generation. It isn’t anything we haven’t seen before, like the Incipio Linq and the iWatch.
I’m not certain if this New Nike Plus Friendly iPod Nano Watch Band is related to the HEX watch that we reported on a while ago, but the “HEX Sport Watch Band protects and stores the iPod nano® during intense workouts and features a NIKE Plus® port for added functionality”.
The Sport Band features a Pop in and Pop out design for easy insertion of the iPod nano. You can access all of the iPod nano controls with the integrated control buttons. The band is made out of perforated premium silicone for “added breathability and comfort during athletic activities”.
The HEX Sport Watch Band should be available in April 2011 for a price of $29.95.

 Sure, we have seen a lot of Angry Birds, and then some spin-offs like the famous Angry Birds seasons.
This particular program by Millipede is pretty much a blatant ripoff. As you can see, the bulls are being shot by a slingshot. What you don’t see is that they aren’t trying to kill pigs to rescue eggs. Instead, they are trying to smash China for damage points.
It’s like a bull in a China shop, get it? There isn’t explanation as to why the Bullistic Bulls are doing what they are doing. Does anyone care?
So, yeah, they made a game that looks just like Angry Birds instead of trying to make something original. It’s not like any game can say that it is completely original.

 The DreamPlug is an interesting device that is essentially a portable computer, only there is no video card for any output.
Its purpose is to provide the user with space enough for programs. It has a Marvell Sheeva 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, as well as a lot of ports.
Normally, these type of computers have one plug, but this one has plenty with 2x Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, 2x USB 2.0 ports, 1x eSATA 2.0 port, a 1x SD socket for user expansion, not to mention WiFi and Bluetooth.
The DreamPlug is available for $149, and it will ship later in this month.

4G enabled smartphones are all the rage with carriers across the country announcing their own offerings. However, seeing how many devices connected to these faster networks are typically high end those on a budget may not be able to get down on the fun. Luckily, Amazon has just posted a great deal today that has seen the price tag of the T-Mobile myTouch 4G drop down to just $30 with a qualifying 2-year contract.
While the myTouch 4G isn’t the most high end Android powered smartphone, you really can’t go wrong with a 4G device for just $30. As a quick refresher of the specs the myTouch 4G features Android ’Froyo’ 2.2.1, a 3.8-inch touchscreen, 1GHz processor, 768MB of RAM, 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, VGA webcam, 4GB of built-in storage, and a microSD slot for additional storage. The typical Bluetooth, WiFi, accelerometer, proximity sensor, digital compass and the keli are all naturally included as well.
No word on how long Amazon will be holding this promotion for so if you’re looking to get down on it you better do so fast.
