On Thursday, June 14, select members of the press were given invites to "a major Microsoft announcement" in Los Angeles. The press even is set for today, Monday, June 18 at 3:30 pm Pacific. Interestingly, even the exact location of the closed doors event won't be revealed until later this morning.
So what's so secret in the Microsoft camp? According to invitee TechCrunch, its a first-look at the joint efforts of Microsoft and Barnes & Noble. If their sources are correct, a new entertainment-focused Nook tablet is in the cards that will be the first non-360 device to stream Xbox LIVE content.
Back in April, Microsoft invested some $300 million into Barnes & Noble for a 17.6% stake in the company, forming a strategic partnership called "Newco" to develop consumer products and services.
Stay tuned!
