On Tuesday, Barnes & Noble's unveiled the $199 7-inch Nook HD and the $269 9-inch Nook HD+ to compete with the recently launched Kindle Fire HD.
The iPad Mini will shake up the budget tablet market, which is already full of competition from Google's Nexus 7. The Barnes & Noble NOOK tablet got a price cut across the board in efforts to try and win some consumers over before Apple steps in.
