Apps for unrooted NC

Are there any apps that can be loaded to a stock NC with its current version of android?

No.
You will have to wait for the update to Android 2.2 and the opening of the appstore, hopefully mid april.

Sorry, not that I know of. B&N is rumored to adding an ap store to the update that may or may not come out this month some time. Rooting gives you access to most of the Android Market aps. Well worth it IMHO.

Hopefully, B&N doesn't do apps the way Microsoft did them for the Zune HD. That was a total joke and killed off the Zune.

I think it's a little more than a rumor.

That announcement is exactly why I put a bit of sarcasm in my note. They asked for developers to make aps on April 7th when rumors have been flying for weeks that this update will come in April. I'm glad I'm not depending on it.

Just watch the HSN channel, that seems to be the main outlet for the latest NC information /sarcasm

I am fed up with B&N. First it was January, then 1st quarter, then mid April. Well it's April 15 and still nothing.

I wouldn't count on them to deliver on their "coming soon" promises, because here we sit 5 months later with no official word on anything.

Judging from the lack of quality of the current stock apps I wouldn't get too excited about the so-called updates anyway. B&N is not a software development company, and they proved that with their current apps. The stock ePub reader is so basic and so flawed as to make it barely usable. Personally B&N can keep their new apps and just update the ePub reader and I will be happy. It is not like Android apps are going to be that good anyway. Few are developed by true professionals and none have to go through a quality check. Everytime I try to surf the web or view an ePub or PDF on my nookcolor I get frustrated. When I do the same tasks on my iPad it simply works, and very elegantly at that. Android is too clunky to ever be that elegant. So at this point I just want a great ePub reader to go with the terrific nookcolor screen. Rooting is not for me as I hate Android. I just want a top notch reader, which is what a $250 nookcolor should be but has yet to become.

I just received an email this morning from the Nook Developer B&N folks saying, "Are your apps ready? Become a NOOK App Developer and get ready to distribute your content and apps to millions of dedicated Barnes & Noble customers."

I know everyone will say this is just more hype and when is it going to actually happen, but I take this as a sign that there is some type of progress in this area. We shall see...

If only they'd just update the NC to accept any Android apps... then B&N won't have to worry about a lack of developers...

But they won't make any money if they did that

I am sure part of the delay is because B&N is trying to generate some additional revenue by having their own app store.
