QUOTE(snowcrash @ Jan 9 2011, 10:00 PM) Does the seller deal in rooted nooks or was this a one off? Tempted to throw some business his way if it's an ongoing thing.... Nope, the seller sell in complete sealed box. So rooting would have to be done personally. *OFF-TOPIC* I am letting go my Nook Color for some financial problem. Any takers? |

Yeah, organize a Nook Color gathering would be awesome. Perhaps, I will get another Nook Color after CNY (got extra cash yay!)
@themanwithnoname, how was the Nook Color?  |

Nook Color gets overclocked, further blurs the line between tablet and e-reader - Engadget
QUOTE  First, they ported Ubuntu to the Nook Color, and now the intrepid hackers at the XDA Developers Forum have overclocked its stock 800MHz processor to run at speeds up to 1GHz. The mod allows users to have their cake and eat it too, as the custom kernel ups the speed of the CPU while running it at a lower voltage, which means longer battery life -- though we don't know exactly how much longer. Apparently, the developer who wrote the code found that the system became unstable at the 1GHz level, but there were no such problems at 950MHz and below. SOURCE |

QUOTE Google has an event slated for February 2 to show off its Android 3.0 operating system for tablets, code-named Honeycomb. Well, in advance of that preview an industrious Android enthusiast, who goes by the handle deeper-blue on the xdadevelopers' forum, has hacked the Nook Color to run a preview version of Honeycomb and has posted a video on YouTube. A custom version of Android firmware is already available for the Nook Color that essentially allows you to turn it into a full-fledged Android tablet (naturally, Barnes & Noble doesn't authorize you "root" your Nook but plenty of people already have). But porting Honeycomb--an operating system truly designed for tablets--to the Nook has a lot of appeal to tech enthusiasts who see the Nook Color as an attractive and affordable tablet at $250. At this point, it's still a pretty crude port that's missing a lot of Honeycomb's core features, but deeper-blue has already improved performance over the last couple of days, so the future seems bright for Honeycomb on Nook. Read more: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20030002-1.html Honeycomb for Nook Color. I can't wait for my another Nook Color arriving in these 3 days. YAY!!!!!!!
