From what I've heard, you need to root the Nook to sideload apps (I don't know if Dropbox is in the Nook app store or not). You can sideload files, but not apps. Correct me if I'm wrong, friends! You can buy SD cards with Nook custom ROMs on them and dual boot, so you're basically running all off the card and not messing with the Nook's internal memory (or warranty). I think apps are slightly less stable off the card, but for many it's worth it compared to bricking it.
From the brief hands on stuff bloggers got at the press conference, it looks like the NCTab is using the same UI as the NC, which is why I'm assuming you won't be able to sideload your own apps without some rootin' magic.
The Flyer has the Kobo reader on it, and I played a little bit. Aside from the page turn graphic, I prefer Aldiko (free), so I've kicked Kobo off my home panel and shortcuts. I should explore it, because if I can get the Kobo WiFi and Flyer to sync up, that would be a huge win! But I think only Kobo store books do that. I hope that changes with Kobo's "we're open not like Amazon or B&N" campaign.

Mantano is what I prefer there is a new Free version at the Market. Give it a try! It's really nice.
I know I would need to root the NC or NTab but I can't afford it unless someone surprises me for my birthday.
$273.28 is too much for me at the moment.
The KF will be $211 total but Now I know it's going back to my Visa I do have more options if something else comes available. Hubby is going to load some more onto my Visa next week. I'm trying to get to figure out how much more I need so he puts the right amount on it. My refund is $175 so I figured $40 should do it.
