We're trending toward the end of what's been a generally slow August in the world of consumer tech. You might think that would change given that this week we saw not one, not two, but three new devices launched. Sadly, none really made much impact.

Barnes & Noble has made it clear that it has no interest in continuing to build Nook tablets, and so Samsung is going to help shoulder some of the load. This first entry is a $179 7-inch Android-powered tablet with some Nook-flavored enhancements layered over top.
