I rather suspect they announced the Nook this far ahead of time to freeze people who are just starting to shop from moving ahead with a purchase of some other device until the Nook is actually available. (Kinda like some world-dominating software company announcing an OS release two years ahead of time because another company is going to announce THEIRs in a month.)

More than likely, the limited units they had for the press release are the only functional units, and the total lack of information is because there isn't any information to drip.

Fact of the matter, the slow answers we did get probably isn't deliberate snowballing by BN. I can visualize the questions coming in and the BN folk looking at each other with wide eyes, saying "Wow, I never thought of THAT one. I wonder if we can do it that way."

Of course, I'm just making this all up, but it sure would explain a lot.
