Still, B & N may be playing the long game. I don't know that the Android developer community has given back much to B &N as a result of this, but maybe it will benefit them in the end. Amazon is likely to think B&N took the wrong approach by making the NC too open, and from a business POV, they may be right.
Yes. Seems to me the attraction of the nook color is geeks getting something extra for their dollars, like a batch of CPUs that overclock really well. Doesn't necessarily help you with the market overall, and it's not the kind of success you can or want to repeat.
