You might want to look at that as your ultimate OS or at least something to fool around with... it looks much more "tablet friendly" than many of the phone Froyo mods.
Once again, as above, I did go back to my Froyo card at the end of the day because I couldn't get the Android Marketplace loaded. But someone will do the hard thinking eventually....
Best, Don.

The instructions for getting the Market loaded are available, and they are a little above what the average end-user is willing to do, but that will change - it will probably be pre-loaded eventually.
I've got my NC running Honeycomb off the SD card (8 GB class 6), and it runs well - I have the market, Nook App, Angry Birds, Perfect Viewer (for comics), and several other apps. I run into the occasional Force Close dialog, and the wifi issues, but as I'm mostly reading side-loaded pdf's (btw, adobe's reader for Android 3.0 is much nicer than the NC's pdf reader), those items are only minor annoyances. When my wife wants to read a book, I power it off, pop out the SD card and pass it to her as a stock 1.1 Nook Color. Best of both worlds really.
