On a side note: the whole "it's just a Nook Color" thing just has to go (not referring to you, just the general commentary). Anyone who thinks Amazon is gonna release a device that merely matches the level of NC's hardware..well. Seriously. The world exists. Pay attention to it.
It's pretty obvious it's a NC like device. I understand this. I honestly feel like my CM7 NC does everything I want in a tablet. I pretty much use it for surfing (recipes while cooking), Gmail, GAMEFAQs or Youtube for gaming on my Xbox or whatever sometimes, and that's about it. I do have a few games on there for my kids, and they will use Netflix one in a while (although normally that's the wife's iPad's duty).

To me, a tablet isn't a revolutionary gadget with all of these awesome apps. It's just a mobile web device of a sort.

And I ran rooted for months, and I still buy B&N books on the rare occasions that I buy a DRM'd book (mainly history books for school) - gotta support the company so they keep updating the Nook and NC!
