With previous product launches, Barnes & Noble has made a habit of underpromising and overdelivering, so it’s no surprise that it’s shipping its new e-reader, the $139 Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight, a couple of weeks earlier than it previously said it would. The company says that, “Beginning this week, ahead of schedule, Barnes & …

A lot of CNET readers like to complain that we cover too many Apple accessories and not enough Android ones. Well, the truth is there just aren’t nearly as many accessories out there marketed toward Android users. But iHome, after specializing for years in iPhone/iPod docks, is jumping on the Android bandwagon with a new line of budget-priced Android accessories. …
