The NOOKcolor was rooted not long after it got into the hands of eager developers and hackers, turning the eReader into more of a tablet than you probably thought it could be. Now the whole thing has gone a step beyond simple root, as a build of Android 2.2 (Froyo) has been compiled to run on the Barnes & Noble device.
The process isn’t for the faint of heart, but after compiling your own build of Froyo and shutting off the battery heat monitor, you too can be running a Wi-Fi-less, Bluetooth-less, and a lot of other-less version of Android 2.2. See the source link for instructions, but be warned you may net yourself a $250 paperweight.
