Barnes & Noble announced today that its new "reader's tablet," the $250 touchscreen Nook Color, has begun shipping slightly ahead of schedule to customers who pre-ordered the device. Some may even receive their units as early as today. As for us, well, we picked up a review unit the other day at the company's headquarters in New York and put it through its paces over the last few days. While we still think Barnes & Noble has some work to do with adding more apps, all in all, the Nook Color's a very capable e-reader that's well slotted between more affordable e-ink e-readers like the Kindle and original Nook and the larger, more versatile iPad. That's the quick take, but there's a whole lot more to it than that, of course.
