    The app store better have some free or very low cost decent apps or I’m getting my nook hacked right after the warranty runs out.
    My friend has a android tablet and the stuff he has on it is very cool.
    I can’t install anything on my nook not even Overdrive so I can’t take full advantages of my local library
    Oh No! something free for my nook Barnes and noble got nothing for the download.
    I somehow expect the cost of the apps will off set the low cost of the reader (as compaired with a android tablet)
    Surprise us Barns and Noble!

    The nook color could be a cool gadget, if they open it up (or if you want to root it). It seems like an overpriced ereader without an eInk screen, but it has the potential to be an awesome budget tablet… It’s price point is between the kindle and ipad, but without the eink its not a real competitor for kindle and without b&n opening up android, its not a real competitor for ipad…

    I love the Nook Color. Great also for showing photos, viewing videos, and you can convert journal articles (for nerds like me) into epub format via calibre.com download. But I’m with joe jim…bring on the hack, froyo, and full android market if they don’t open it up. Supposed to get Android 2.2 sometime this month or early this year, so I’ll wait…then if need be hack away!
