What’s more, the processor is actually part of TI’s eBook Development Platform, which the Nook Color also relies on. That’s particularly interesting considering that the processor and platform support a few features that the Nook Color does not, not the least of which is 3G connectivity. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll see a future Nook Color that takes advantage of those features, but at least we know it’s not too much of a stretch for Barnes & Noble to add them.
