Like I said before, I've never seen a nonrooted NC in the wild. Not too long ago I saw someone using one, and they had the Android market visible. That can only be done if rooted. When you have various magazines like PC World, and Wired giving how to guides on how to root and put on other roms, and Time talking about how easy it is to put the Android market on to the NC, it starts bleeding into the mainstream. A simple search for android market on nook color gives a ton of results on how to do it. You don't have to know about rooting, or even heard the term before, to have the desire for the Android Market. For many people, they know they have an android device, and so they want to run any android app they want.
