i think you'll be pleased, but you should know that you won't be able to watch videos, may have to upgrade the Market app and make a few other changes... i have found excellent versions of Klondike, xmahjong,backgammon, and chess for my 'upgraded' Touch and enjoy using the Opera mini browser once in a while (i rarely turn on my Touch's wifi)

good luck in your endeavor

p.s. btw, the OP should have posted this in the Nook Dev sub-forum, not here - just a nitpick

I did it with my nook touch - super simple - easy - and you can switch back and forth with between the nook launcher and the android launcher with ease. The main reason I rooted it was so I could read PDF's in landscape mode which works great now with EzPDF from the android market
