I read about how you can root a nook color so that it is nearly a fully functioning Android tablet. I heard, however (true or false), that B&N has stopped shipping nooks so that they can secure them and render them unrootable.
I have been in the tablet market since before I purchased my Droid 1. What is a rooted nook color capable of? I am considering getting an iPad after they launch the new one coming up, but for $250 if I can get a decent tablet I might forget it. Can a rooted nook play YouTube? Can it play movies (should I load them on)? Is it capable of playing games? And can you still access you B&N books if you go this route?
How is the nook in comparison with other tabs, like the iPad and Samsung Galaxy tab? I don't want to pay for a 3G contract feature, I rather just use wifi and tether, so that is why I'm looking at the iPad. Finally, is it hard to do? Thanks!
