Most Android apps run just fine, but there are some obvious things that won't run. Since the NC has no phone and no camera, apps that relate to those hardware functions will not work. I have found a few others, but nothing big (e.g. the Chase Banking app won't work, but I can use a browser to check my balances, etc, so it's no biggie). GPS related apps are crippled since there is no "real" GPS in the NC. But apps like Google Earth & Maps do a good job of pinpointing your location based on wifi locations - it locates my home about a half block from its physical location.
