Chicago, Illinois · July 18, 2012 - “What good is a technology if it isn’t accessible?” says 360 Mobile Solutions President Nabeel Shaukat, and creator of the NR Card™ an easily configurable SD Card that allows Barnes and Nobles’ Nook™ eReader to double as a tablet running Android OS. Shaukat asks this question in the wake of the fairly recent tablet craze that seems to be making entrepreneurs more productive and efficient in running their businesses, children more computer savvy and excited about technology as they gain access to revolutionary systems like the Android OS or Apple’s iOS, and moms multitask like never before. The concern, however, is that tablets aren’t generally affordable, and those that should be able to benefit - perhaps those mostly in need, can’t. Sharjeel Shaukat, the company’s Chief Operating Officer adds, “we want potential geniuses in rural areas with limited access to tablet devices, broadband, and that are facing all of the other disparities in technology that we as a company fight for, to experience this technology. We also want the mom who simply comfortable with the light weight of her Barnes and Nobles’ Nook™, doesn’t see the need to carry two devices, or doesn’t want to spend the extra money on a new tablet, to benefit as well. That’s our business. That’s what we love.” “eReaders [like the Nook and Kindle] were actually around before the tablet, and we find people using them more and more as the demand for technology grows, and our economy, unfortunately doesn’t,” says Malik Shamsuddin, 360 Mobile’s Chief Marketing Officer. “We wanted to produce a product that has the affordability of an eReader with the power of an Android Tablet. It allows those without access or simply those that are on the fence about adopting a new tablet, to adopt tablet technology. For about $200*” The NR Card™ is available in 8GBs, 16GBs, and 32GBs and ranges from $24.95 to $64.95 (Nook Reader Device not included). NR Card™ Specs The NR Card™ is a dual bootable microSD memory card equipped with the Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS. Installation is as simple as plug and play. Simply insert the NR Card TM into the memory card slot and power on your Nook Color™ or Nook Tablet™ device. The Android OS will boot directly from the NR Card™and therefore wont void your warranty. The NR Card™ allows you to dual boot between Android OS and the native Nook platform seamlessly. The NR Card™ is fully optimized to operate safely and efficiently on the Nook Color™ and Nook Tablet™ eReaders.
