I've seen that touchpad app, and not to dig at the project starter, but I wouldn't hold my breath on it; there's no real progress since they said what they planned to do.
I really wouldn't recommend the NOOK classic if you think it's going to be further developed on in the future, people just, sadly, aren't interested in it anymore.
If, on the other hand, you want audio capability or a colour touchscreen, then go for it. Then again, you might be better suited towards a NOOK color when it's dropped down in price.
And your point about the replaceable battery, they don't even manufacture them anymore as far as I know and you can't buy them from the BN site. Failing a third-party battery, its a moot point.
