I can't wait to be surprised. As a mobile OS, I love Android, but the diversity of models in tech specs is already a problem in ensuring app compatibility. Not a big problem, sure, but a problem nonetheless. There are apps that work flawlessly on my rooted Nook Color that have only problems on my Samsung Galaxy S, and vice versa. It'll be interesting to see how app developers deal with, if they choose to, the niche that is a rooted Nook Simple Touch.
Also, I can see how some would prefer Sony's handling of PDFs over any Android alternatives. Having used the native Nook reader, ezPDF, and the bundled QuickOffice, they've all been frustrating to me in various ways. Your mileage may vary.
