Nook Software Update: The Good, The Subpar
,----[ Quote ]
| Browser, With a Catch: The Nook now has a
| basic Web browser, in beta, which should at
| least allow people to read some daily news
| and blogs. But as one commenter on Engadget
| noted, it's Wi-Fi only. Also, I'd like to
| see either the Kindle or the Nook treat Web
| browsing with respect and offer something
| robust, as we've seen in Spring Design's
| Alex.

Nook Torn Open, Hacked, Rooted
,----[ Quote ]
| 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.

| a surprise that the people behind something
| called NookDevs.com were able to gain
| access to the deviceâs administrative

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.
