Combining the two features, updates will be asy to push to the device and the capabilities of the device will expand dramtically. Plus it will open up a new revenue stream for B&N in apps delivered, such as folders etc.
Finally, there is a strong potential for the release of an SDK which will further expand the capabilities of the device.
OF course, none of this means anything if B&N doesn't immediately address the cost differential of eBooks when compared to the AMZ format because first and foremost, the device is used to read eBooks. Without that key component, the Nook will fail and fail miserably.

Well, yeah, but if I wanted all that, I wouldn't buy a book reader to do it.
