The NC v.1.4

---

OK so it seems we are getting a new version 1.4.

what do we know.......

Well it seems both Nook Tablet and Nook Color are getting 1.4.

Would that mean that it could be based on something higher than Froyo.

Since B&N is marketing theit new product as a tablet that could probably link to a tablet os for both devices.

Maybe...

How does 1.4 effect...

---

While the news sites are touting the new "stuff" in NC 1.4, how will this effect those of us with Rooted NC's? ( remeber the problem the 1.3 upgrade had )

I look forward to some of the new apps, mostly the HuluPlus app... I wonder if that means they will be unblocking regular Hulu from us too?

I would say to hold off on updating if you can until xda either gives the go-ahead or has a procedure to follow.

As for Hulu -- I would assume regular Hulu will still be blocked, unfortunately. They seem to have a stance that everything but a PC is a mobile device and subject to different rules.

No idea about whether its going to be gingerbread.

The update is not out and wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't until nooktablet launch. The 1.1 update for the simple touch is out.

From what I can tell, there is going to be some sort of 'account management' app so you can handle gift cards and credit cards without the need of the browser. Netflix will be available as a download from the press quotes I'm seeing.

Does gingerbread give any DRM security that froyo doesn't? Because that might be the only reason why it would get bumped up to a new andoird version, to appease Hulu and Netflix (and their evil masters)

i think the most interesting thing is wether they updated the kernel version.....

I'm impressed with B&N's support of the NC. You don't see this many updates on phones.

It is easier to update a device if you don't have a third party in between the developers and the users (i.e. cellular carriers)

Good news is that it does actually apear to be Gingerbread, on the other hand BN decided to delay it until December.

And the delay appears to be a marketing decision, according to what people are saying on the bn forums.

Thanks for the advice, but how can I stop the update until XDA has help for us?
