So I put off buying an ereader, until I discovered that the nook color could be turned into a Android tablet.
Went to the local Barnes and Noble, brought one home and 50 minutes later I had a Wi-Fi Android. It took 40 minutes because I watched this video a couple of times before rooting.
Anyway, I now have a functioning Android tablet for 1/2 the price of others. It steams videos just fine, downloads apps form the Android Market in the blink of an eye. The process went so smoothly I rooted my daughter's nook too.
BTW, B&N is reportedly about to offer an update to it's current OS that will allow more Android apps to work on the nook.
The Nook Color is an interesting (affordable) device. You and your daughter both like it?
Thank you for posting. I just rooted my Android phone this week. I wish I’d done it sooner. Took an hour or two. Cyanogen Mod 7.
Have you had any issues with the Android phone apps scaling to the bigger screen?
I have a B&W Nook for books and love it, but would like a tablet for its own sake.
I’m still trying to operate my Willard Organizer.
