Barnes and Nobles is adding the Google Play Store to Nook HD and HD+
The thread title says it all. Sorry, no information on any updates or additions to NC or NT at this time.

Worked like a charm.
Time will tell if this helps out the Nooks. Last edited by robertc88; 05-03-2013 at 06:41 PM. |

Yes, and if only they'd added a camera. In today's world I think that was a bad move. But Google Play may help. I hope so! Plus the devices are on sale... Its quite tempting!

Yes. They call it a tablet. I'm afraid BN will become like Blackberry. They wouldn't conform to marketing standards and/or consumer desires, and as a result, consumers chose other devices. How many tablets are on the market that don't have a camera?

If you say so. I have one and the last thing I think about doing on it is reading, that's what my reader is for, except for maybe comics or magazines just like I would with any other tablet. I personally could care less about it not having a camera, but just because it doesn't that doesn't mean it's not a tablet.
