Theory @ xda is that rooting changes the device ID such that more apps show up in the market, which means that it MAY be possible to swap build props and get store functionality back. I plan on looking into this eventually, going to try swapping a pristine copy of build props with the rooted/market changed one using something like root explorer, but ATM I'm still loitering around seeing how long it takes them to push the 1.01 update to my NC... I had the first one for c. 1d on w/WiFi quite a bit but it never go it, then my replacement I've been turning WiFi on when charging and on for a bit while using it as a reader, or at least until I get more worried about having enough batt runtime to shut down WiFi...
anyways the file in question should be build.props IIRC but don't recall offhand exactly where it resides... it's been a while since I've had to modify one but it seems to be the most likely candidate...
