Ya gotta love the price and size

How's the input on that thing? ...for posting, email...

Even with the Nook based system, it's not bad. For surfing, it's fine. I expect that with putting 3.0 on the unit, it will be fine for e-mail and web surfing.

Yup. And if you just want to test it, you can put Android on a 4gb microsd card and it will boot from that - remove card and your are back to stock OS

The iPad users we've shown our Droid/Nook to have been very jealous, especially after the price is mentioned.

Edit: so is a color nook pretty easy to get onto Android? Then I can use the android marketplace?

Hey! A WSJ article on buying a BN Color Nook and rooting it!

ROI: The $200 Tablet Computer - WSJ.com

I have to say, I'm impressed so far. This will definitely be a good e-mail and web surfing machine.

The Slate does a lot more. But the $200 Android tablet is good.

Is this the one with instructions? Looks pretty cool because you can pull the chip out and its back to stock!
