Nook hiding MMS and speech recognition smarts

| If you somehow get your hands on a Nook, the 
| process for getting at itâs secrets is a little 
| involved â youâll need a screwdriver, a microSD 
| card reader and a computer running Linux â but 
| if youâre keen you can read through the process 
| over at the Nookdevs Wiki.

Nook Torn Open, Hacked, Rooted

| Before you tut, toss your head and mutter
| âso what?â like some petulant teenager,
| think about the uses. The Nook is now a
| computer running a full Android operating
| system, with a built-in, free cellular
| connection to the internet. It also has a
| battery that lasts days, not hours. Now are
| you getting excited? This could turn into
| the Roomba of e-readers, only it wonât
| suck.

Root your nook in 27 easy steps

,----[ Quote ]
| As with any other Linux-based device, it
| didnât take very long for the Barnes &
| Noble nook ebook reader to be rooted by
| some clever users. In fact itâs not much of
| a surprise that the people behind something
| called NookDevs.com were able to gain
| access to the deviceâs administrative
| controls.

Android May Power New Barnes & Noble E-Reader

,----[ Quote ]
| Reports indicate that another new e-
| reader is on the way, this time from
| Barnes & Noble.  The interesting thing -
| or at least the interesting thing that
| makes this development connect to the
| search industry - is that Barnes &
| Noble's e-reader will supposedly use
| Android as its operating system.
