In the Android community, rooting devices is what they do. Josh topolsky asked an interesting question once:

" if the first thing you do with your phone is to root it and make wholesale changes to the interface, then maybe you bought the wrong phone?"
I went with the Nook Color because of these features:
  • half the price
  • 7" 16:9 display
  • expandable storage
  • flash support
Android followed by default. I would've gone with Apple (own a iPt4) if they made such a device. But they don't, so I didn't.

Rooting was necessary in order to gain access to an app store.
