B&N to Release iPad eReader

Clever Barnes & Noble. Not only are they cleaning up with their own nook, they are putting out a free app around the time that the iPad will be released. You can access their eBooks, newspapers and magazines as well as a transfer content that has been downloaded on your nook, if you are one of the lucky ones to own one. The company also plans on updating free eReader software for Mac, PC, iPhone, iPod touch and Blackberry.

HP to Release Pocket Cam

Okay, it's purple but it is also amazingly priced at $109.00. HP's entry into the mini-camcorder category is the V1020h with 720p recording, SDHC card reading, a built-in USB plug and HDMI port for uploading. It has only 128MB of memory but has the advantage of a 2x zoom. The pocket cam should be out this summer, along with a couple of budget-friendly point and shoot cams.

Amazon Free VOD and Xmas MP3s

Amazon has begun to offer a free VOD when you order one of their movies. The deal is good for hundreds of Blu-ray and DVD titles. We expect this is their latest move to compete with both Walmart and Sears, as the two companies have lowered their prices on discs to get your holiday business. Amazon is also offering a free Christmas MP3 Download daily until December 25.
