“Who said anything about rooting it? While rooting a Nook Color
is quite easy–watch huskermania’s YouTube video on how to do
it if you don’t believe me–Barnes & Noble will be
upgrading the Color Nook to being a real Android tablet in
mid-April. In its press release, the book store giant states only
that, “NOOK Color will get even better this Spring when a major
update to the device’s firmware will offer customers access to
explore exciting new applications, e-mail and many other requested
features.” Sources tell me though that the Color Nook will be
upgraded from Android 2.1 to Android 2.2 (Froyo), be given Flash
video support, and will have its own version of the Google Android
Apps Market.”
