Nook Color Apps - Page 2

jcleaver · 11-04-2010, 09:35 PM

It would be nice if audible books, like from audible.com wopuld work on the Nook Color; however at least as far as Audible.com I think it will be a case of never; as Amazon owns Audible.com. I have a ton of books from them and would love to use them on a NookColor.

Good PDF support is highest on my list. I'm not going away from e-ink for reading novels, but PDF would be very handy for D20 gaming (Pathfinder RPG for me), user manuals (like motherboard manuals while I'm building a PC), etc.

Kindle for Android

Why - because so far they have been giving away books like candy on Halloween - I have more free books for Kindle than free and purchased books for any other reader system. It would be nice to read them all on one device.

....mind you, I am definitely getting a nook color - it is a bit smaller and a lot more affordable than the iPad. Which I do love, but can't afford.

Oddly enough - it also has more pixels per inch than the iPad. much potential here....

Google Calender

Alarm clock
acar
Loot
Dolphin Browser
Google My Maps

I would like to see a Netflix app.

I would like Zinio for my magazines, as well as handwriting recognition. A good note taker would be nice too.

Speaking of word games... I like cryptograms. That would be nice to have.

Comic Reading (all brands) through official stores

More magazines (scif, movie stuff, etc)

Expand the reading and community reading features

Expand music and video features (low priority for me)

I guess I just want this to be the ultimate LCD reading device.

Instapaper - there's some support with Cailbre, but an app would be better.
Evernote - just in case, I'm sure the Nook keyboard beats most smartphones' when I need to take notes in pinch.
Pulse - just an extension of the nook color's magazine abilities, Pulse is the way I enjoy rss, though it's no hardcore reader.
Dropbox and other methods of remote access to docs and pics. Hey, if it has quickoffice and wifi, this is just natural.
Apps that can highlight and annotate PDF and office docs with social networking like the default ePub program. Useful for students and academics.

Would also like to see a way to access iPad optimized versions of websites like gmail, it's more intuitive than desktop and more functional than mobile/phone.

Stand alone dictionary, note taking, podcasts, Dropbox, word games

asjogren · 11-18-2010, 01:17 PM

Interactive nature guides like iBird Pro and Audubon Birds. Flowers, fish, mammals, trees, butterflies, etc.

Those would be cool apps to have on a 7" screen. Great for nature watching and trips to the zoo.

The Color is a natural for word games and I hope they put a bunch more on it.

I love the Pandora app, except I just found out it has two subscription plans: paid= $36/year and free= 40 hours listening, then $0.99 for the rest of the month. I'll easily reach the free limit on the Color; and without flash, I have no other listening options (Last.fm, AOL Radio, BBC Radio, NPR, etc).

Dang, I don't like the idea of being nickeled and dimed to death on the internet. Android 2.2 can't get here soon enough for me.

I need flash!!!

If it's like the Internet station, that's $.99 per month, not per song.

True, the Nook may be different, but I find that price hard to believe.
