Tablet Wars: Barnes and Noble Lies about Nook Specs

Barnes and Noble claims its new Nook can stream HD video. From NY Times tech guru David Pogue:
“HD videos stream smoothly.” “Enjoy HD Video.” “The best in HD entertainment.” “Netflix and Hulu Plus pre-loaded to instantly watch HD movies.” “Streaming HD videos and more.” “Supports HD content up to 1080p.” And so on
Hmm. Well, I don’t know about you. But if I read all of this, I might come away with the impression that the Nook Tablet can show high-definition video! 
Well, guess what? It can’t. 
Its screen resolution is 1024 by 600 pixels. That’s not even close to high definition.
If you'd like to buy a Kindle Fire (or anything else at Amazon), click on the Amazon box to the right. Part of the proceeds will put real books in the hands of real students.
