NOOKcolor Sales Halted; To Introduce a Hack-Proof Version?
In case you haven’t noticed, the NOOKcolor has been pulled from the store shelves – virtual or otherwise – of both Best Buy and Barnes & Noble. This sort of action usually suggests a product refresh or a new slightly-different SKU is on the way. Unfortunately, it seems the latter may be truest as GoodeReader believes Barnes & Noble will soon ship a hack-proof version to circumvent efforts to install custom versions of Android and third-party apps onto the device. This hasn’t been confirmed, but a statement from B&N is expected shortly. Another reason could be due to their desire to ship devices running Android 2.2 preinstalled. [via Electronista]
