You might need to update your repositories.

Doesnt mean much IMO. We need the kernel source and an easy way to flash stuff. This looks like it is only an API to create official NC apps.

But that may give some insight into how the NC is layed out, beyond just having root (I'm hoping?) Like explaining what libraries are there / not there, which should help the rom developers.

In addition to anything that could shed clues on low-level hacks that slipped into the manuals. Like "don't worry, if you do X, you can do Y to do a reset." Or "Don't do X, because BN patch procedure is Y, and you don't want to run afoul of it."

I say ****'s on like donkey kong.

Can this SDK be installed after the rooting process and used to sideload apps as well. Is it the same as the Mac OSX SDK that people currently use to sideload apps?

Ok this is odd, I just installed the NC SDK 1.0 kit and started up the SDK Manager, on the Virtual Device I setup for the ColorNook.

It starts and I have a nice emulated ColorNook to play with... only now I have a app drawer above the ^ screen button, you can slide it open to see apps and if you click and hold one down, it goes to the home screen just like any android phone. The apps are a bunch of test apps, some work, some don't.

I don't know if this is a future behavior or not but it isn't a true (current) ColorNook experience.

So is B&N screwing with us, or is this coming in an update?
