For what it is worth, I think that the key is the cable. It seems to have extra pins. While you can trickle charge with a standard microUSB cable, you can also use any 2.1 A charger with the NookColor cable and it works great. 2.1 A = iPad charger. There are a LOT of third-party chargers out there that are cheap and work great. I currently travel with my iPad, but if the rooted NookColor works, I may ditch Apple. I am an Android guy through and through. And I love reading my Kindle books on the NookColor when they have pretty pictures. Now if Zinio will just release an Android app!
