The good: The Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet (8GB)
is an affordably priced full-featured tablet with a vibrant 7-inch
touch screen, built-in Wi-Fi, 8GB of built-in storage, and a microSD
expansion slot. In addition to a full slate of books and magazines, it
offers more than a thousand apps through its integrated (and growing)
Nook Store and is optimized for Netflix and Hulu Plus video playback.
The built-in Web browser works well and offers Flash support.
The bad: There's no access to the full Android Market; no Bluetooth, GPS, or camera; no video rental (or purchase) option; and the 8GB of internal memory may be limiting to some people, but unlike with the Kindle Fire, you do have a memory expansion option.
The bottom line: The $199 Nook Tablet (8GB) matches up well to the Kindle Fire on specs and price--and has the added advantage of offering an expansion slot for additional memory.

the specs of the $199 Kindle Fire while retaining one key differentiating hardware feature between the two products: an expansion slot for adding more memory.
