Photos: Hack the Nook Color into a full Android tablet

Does the hacked eBook have wifi and 3G?

Why hack a NookColor when you can buy an Android tablet that is a lot cheaper and already has apps on it?

I don't normally leave comments but I appreciate this article. Thanks.

Have you used the NextBook? I have. I bought it from HSN and it's crap, that's why I spent the $225 (on sale at B&N) for the Nook Color and rooted it.

Did you read the article that you posted a link to? The list of where it falls short pretty much explains why the Nook Color is better. The main reasons would be excellent Wi-Fi and a capactive touch screen.

I have done both the root, and sd install. I bought it for my wife sunday and got myself one last night. She spends upto an hour reading on her evo so I thought this would be nice. After I got honeycomb working I had to have one. Now I have it linked to my Evo for wifi. I love this thing, plus I can always sell it for 150 after a year and get a newer (faster) device. Screw you Apple. Here is a link to the root I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870 and http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/rootpack-instructions.html

Good Luck
