True manual firmware update
Quote:
My wife loves it BTW. The GUI is more usable, as it is designed to be a tablet, not a e-reader. She (and I) prefers the NC's case design; it fits in the hand much more comfortably. I still think the NC is a good deal for a tablet, if you are willing to deal with the idiosyncrasies that result from hacking it. My wife wouldn't have been. Also, I later found a way to do a manual upgrade of the NC's firmware using a boot microSDHC card as a boot device, but that was when I was in the process of re-imaging the NC to put it back to factory settings and remove the Android Market, etc. Here's the link: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/...ock-image.html If you want to hack your NC, here is the place to start: http://nookdevs.com/Main_Page Later guys. |

Galaxy Tab 2

The Notion Ink was looking interesting, but in the end the company was too immature and unable to pull off what they were promising. Hopefully v2.0 will fare better. As for the Galaxy Tab w/o contract for $399 from Costco, here's the info: http://membershipwireless.com/index....dsAndNetBooks/ |

Updating nook color
I came across one of these nooks the other day. The solution was to navigate to the B&N's firmware update link on the nook itself.
Afterwards I connected the nook to my PC and copy/pasted the .zip file out of the Download directory and into the root of the nook. |

I just spent the last 3 hours trying to do a manual update - I'm talking pulling my hair out, banging my head on the desk frustration!!! I turn to my trusty friends on this forum and pow....the update is installing. If you were all around me now I would kiss every one of you!!!
