This... Next generation hardware needs to be lighter. And, what's up with that notch in the corner for a lanyard or hand-strap? I could do without it.

And this too... The biggest disappointment of the NC is the lack of a good app store. Pity, it had such great potential. I really like the NC screen. It is crisp and the resolution is good to my sensitive eyes. However, lately, the blind spots are really frustrating me.

Since updating, I find that I'd forgotten how much I loved the UI. It's so...polished and fancy - you can tell that someone put a lot of thought into it. I loved the magazine feature of it and the 1.3 software update has enhanced magazine features. I loved reading Time magazine on this - I wish I could read this on my nook app!

Since my nookcolor is only 6 months old and I'm seriously lacking in disposable income, I'll probably not be purchasing nookcolor 2. However, my wishlist is pretty simple and can be accomplished with the next software update:

1) True night mode - For some reason, nookcolor's night mode has a grey background instead of black. Why?
2) Landscape mode!!! - Why can I have 2 page landscape mode on my 4 inch screen phone (via the nook app) and not on my 7 inch nook color?

I find that I do a lot of reading at night and night mode is great for that. Also with landscape mode, I can use the flap of the case to balance the nook color on my stomach or my lap (the thing is heavy!). It kills me that those two features are available in the nook app but not the nook itself. What gives?

And that... I don't plan to upgrade to the NC 2. I am ok with the current one, and my major issues are software fixable. To get the most potential of the NC, one has to hack it. The B&N Nook Android app is more sophisticated than the stock OS. Better night mode and landscape are the main reasons I revert to B&N and other Android apps.

If the new Amazon tablet can do everything the NC can do at the same (or better) price and has open access to the Amazon market, then the NC is going to have some serious, threatening competition and I would look at getting the Amazon tablet instead.
