Barnes & Noble might be working on a new Nook tablet with Google Play Store support

It looks like Barnes & Noble hasn’t completely abandoned its Nook brand. But a device that recently passed through the FCC might point us in a different direction. What’s new with this “Nook Tablet 7” is it’ll run on Android and have Google Play Store available. Some of the other specs include MediaTek MTM8163 quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor with Mali-T720 MP2 graphics, 3,000mAh battery, front and rear cameras, microUSB port, and microSD card slot. No word yet on the price or its availability but perhaps we might see it before the holiday season goes into full swing.
