NOOKcolor Officially Getting Android 2.2 and Market Access in January
Rooting your NOOKcolor, applying custom ROMs, and hacking the Android market onto it can all be very tricky: even experienced Android rooters haven’t had much success with this stuff. Thankfully, Barnes & Noble’s committing to expanding the functionality of their tablet/eBook reader by bringing an official upgrade to Android 2.2 and official support for the Android market. Suddenly, this just became one very attractive tablet for common consumers at $250. If you’ve been wanting to free your NOOKcolor from its chains, I suggest holding off: that risky procedure might not get any less risky, and official love from Barnes & Noble is right around the corner.
