B&N on the other hand does not offer an emulator for their device, and, if rumors are true, generally won't accept an application that hasn't been tested on one of their controlled test units. This is one factor that seems to be keeping the number of available Nook applications down, but I wouldn't go so far as to claim that B&N is spending the money for careful quality control, either.
Not true yet per say. They could be cleaning it up though. Right now the app store is full of outdated apps. You have to wait a long time get an update that shows up on the Market. It's been getting better the past couple of weeks on some apps so maybe they are doing something about it.
