Gmail: I'm unable to access my address book/contacts. This means that for every mail I compose, I have to manually type in the email address.

Not very workable. What could be doing wrong here?

I've also set up the generic Mail icon that came with AutoNooter 3.0.0 to connect to my Gmail account, thinking I may just use that interface. Same problem.

Have looked for a separate Contacts/Address Book app for Gmail in the Marketplace and can't find one.

ADW Launcher: I tried Launcher Pro and just switched to ADW Launcher. While all the phone buttons are gone from ADW Launcher (great!), I notice that now the book icon to continue reading doesn't work. Since it worked with Launcher Pro, this seems to be particular to ADW Launcher.

Softkeys: The little icon that floated on the screen was so annoying to me, that I played around enough to get it off screen. The only reason I seem to need this app is when I open NookColor Tools.

NookColor Tools: Speaking of which...I know I shouldn't need to access this much, but it's a pain that when I do open and app through this interface I must reboot the NC to get back to the main list of apps if I don't have the Softkey button floating on screen. Ah, well.

Angry Birds: Yeah, I want it just like 99% of the world. Too bad it won't load from Marketplace on the NC. Only Angry Birds Seasons is there. In another post it was suggested that I try to load it after downloading from an Android phone. I don't have an Android phone (work pays for my mobile phone, but they don't support Android yet...one hand giveth, the other taketh away...) but I have a friend with one. Can I load it via a micro SD card? Otherwise I'm a bit stumped on how to transfer from a phone to an NC.

EDIT: Almost forgot...Netflix. Is there a real Netflix app for Android that I'm overlooking? I have one for my iPhone, but it would be great to watch a movie on my NC.
