Nook by Barnes & Noble: Sorry Kindle

Check out this video of the new "Nook" from Barnes and Noble. I must say I thought the Amazon Kindle had everything. However, after reading the details about the Nook, I am thinking this is better. Obviously its all depends on user interaction with the device but below I have listed some of the features the Nook will have that the Kindle is currently without.

Nook features lacking on the Kindle:
1.) Color Touch Screen - 3.5" TFT Color LCD (bottom of device, not the primary screen)
2.) Touch Control & Navigation (bottom of device, not the primary screen)
3.) Quick Library View by Book Cover (in color, bottom of device, not the primary screen)
4.) Wi-Fi/802.11b/g with free wifi in all Barnes and Noble stores.
5.) Memory expansion via microSD slot.
6.) More than a million titles available.
7.) More than 500,000 free eBooks.
8.) Directly load & read PDFs.
9.) Read/Sync from multiple devices (iPhone™, iPod touch®, BlackBerry®, PC, Mac OS®)
10.) Synchronized notes/annotations between devices
11.) Lend eBooks to friends.
12.) Android OS
13.) Personalize screensavers with your photos
14.) Replaceable battery

All in all it seems to be at least very comparable to the Kindle2 and shows a lot of promise to be even better.
