It's still deplorable. Your comments of android being a work in progress may be true on a philosophical level, but the device, as sold, with AndroidOS 2.3 as modified by B&N is the product being discussed. It doesn't have multi-user accounts.

Reset the unit to factory standard and put it in the box, it is an option under 'settings' and will return it to the "as-purchased state" with all data wiped. Then decide if you're returning it or wrapping it to give to your your wife. In the future, consider letting the person receiving the...

By design, yes - most apps are not programmed to fully stop themselves - they remain resident in memory in case you return to that app - it reduces load times and allows content viewing sites (news readers, downloading the newest emails, periodic alerting tools, etc) to work in the background so...

It sounds like you want to have some form of screen locker in place so when you power back up (or unsleep) you have to enter a code or a pattern. This prevents unauthorized access to your personal tablet. You should be able to activate it from the settings menu. Concerning multiple logins...

Close in spec? x2 the memory x2 the storage +uSD card +microphone

There are utilities that boost the volume of the speaker, and provided you don't move the slider all the way to the right - they work very well. Alternatively, use headphones.

When I log into the forums, I usually go to the "Tablet" link in order to get to the B&N NC forums (the search doesn't always work at the kiosks I use). Can this forum (B&N NT) also be added to the tablets page?

I can sideload my epub library to the Nook without an issue. I cannot inject anything into the Kindle Fire, I have to buy it from Amazon. There is also the 'hidden' cost of Amazon Prime. Each device has to have a person with an Amazon Prime account. If you don't already have such an account...

B&N Nook Color Data/Charging Cable: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/nook-color-cable?keyword=nook+color+cable&store=ebook

Don't have Swype, but have had good luck with the FlexT9 keyboard, which has a swype-like option (among others).

One household member needs a prime account in order for the entire household to benefit from A-Prime. Once you get to an individual electronic device, such as a Fire, you suddenly need one A-Prime account per person. Therefor it is entirely appropriate to include the price of A-Prime in the...

Be aware: If you plan on keeping the B&N Nook funcitonality, it won't work so well in Europe since purchases need to be made in the US borders and with a US account. If you plan on just flashing CM7 to the emmc, you'll be fine.

You have to install it separately from CM7, which is as hard as going to the market and downlaoding it.

Amazon's prices seem too good to be true, until you do some math. First, for the Touches, they only advertise the 'with special offers' (aka advertising) models. Tack on $40 for a Kindle that doesn't act like a billboard. Second, for the Fire, everyone seems to be overlooking the $79/year...

Indeed Market DID update on its own, so reverting (a few times actually) did the trick eventually. Do we know why the market claims the nook color cannot run the B&N Nook app?
