The news comes from a leaked Walmart document. From The Verge:
Currently the 16GB Nook Tablet retails at $249, which is $50 more than the Kindle Fire. If a drop in capacity means that Barnes & Noble can match—or,even better, undercut—the Fire on price, it can expect to sell a whole heap more."All we know for sure is that Walmart plans to launch this new device at 12:01AM on Wednesday, February the 22nd, and deliveries of the 8GB Tablet should be arriving in stores already."

seriously want one of these.
I ended up buying an IPAD over the Kindle Fire for various reasons, but I am sure this new product will draw an even larger piece of the market away due to the pricing.
Despite the reduction in capacity I still find this very interesting, I'd like to own one.
nice...who needs more storage than 8GB!
Nah, still don't see a point of a tablet.
