I agree. If this thing is half as cool as it seems, waiting an extra couple of weeks would still be well worth it. As it stands, my pre-order is still expected to ship December 18. I just hope it stays that way!]]>Dec 4th 2009 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/That is one hot piece of tech.

Look, with these ship dates, it means they don't have any produced yet! The difference between the two ship dates is air shipping (expensive) and putting them on a ship (cheaper).

So, if everything goes perfectly, they'll build them, have them clear customs and ship them out before December 18th. And inevitably, everything won't go perfectly.]]>Dec 4th 2009 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/Dec 4th 2009 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/Dec 4th 2009 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/Dec 4th 2009 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/Dec 4th 2009 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/Dec 4th 2009 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/Dec 4th 2009 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/
Sorry, I can't see Apple releasing anything like a reader. A tablet by Apple would run some form of OSX and include a lot of the functionality of an iPod touch or iPhone and would likely cost in the range of $800.]]>Dec 4th 2009 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/
That is really misreading the market.

1. Apple won't have a tablet in January.
2. The nook and any mythical Apple tablet won't be competitors.
3. And even if they were ... plenty of people would choose a sub $300 device to whatever Apple would charge for their hardware. ]]>Dec 4th 2009 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/Dec 4th 2009 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/
Way to nitpick the least important thing in bjsguess' argument. The point is, this is in no way a competitor with the Apple tablet. So its release will have no effect on the Nook's sales. However, delaying the Nook's ship date until another competitor has a chance to release their new reader might.]]>Dec 4th 2009 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/Dec 5th 2009 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/Dec 4th 2009 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/Dec 4th 2009 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/Still, it's possible, if the kindle is the only other major player for a while that the Nook could remain some sort of hard to get treasure....

you also can't think for a second that someone is going to read a book on their Apple Tablet for 3 hours until the battery goes out. Nook's battery life is 10 days. That means rolling under the covers with your favorite cheesy romance novel, no strings attached. duh!]]>Dec 4th 2009 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/The apple tablet could very well use something other than a traditional LCD such as pixel qi or perhaps OLED.]]>Dec 4th 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-ship-date-pushed-back-to-january-15th-no-nooks-in-stores-b/
As was stated earlier, though they slipped on the Nov 30 ship date, they still plan on having a ton of Nooks in peoples' hands before Christmas (the people who pre-ordered first). I got the email with a Dec. 9 "promise". Whether or not it will happen, who knows, but they aren't telling me Jan 15.
