These are two transcriptions found on the web. They seem to be authentic. You can decide what BN update 1.2 means...

Perhaps the CM7 developers were not "wasting their time" as some were suggesting? It also appears that the update is a "few weeks" away regardless of when you ask.

10:31:02 : Ron: Initial Question/Comment: when in April will software version 2.2 be available?

10:31:07 : System: Connected with Jason. Your Reference Number for this chat is 16712.

10:31:12 : System: Thanks for joining us.

10:31:12 : Jason: Hi Ron. Thanks for joining Barnes and Noble Digital Chat Support. One moment while I review your question.

10:31:47 : Jason: Our software developers are hard at work on the latest software update. You can expect your version of 1.2 to be sent Over-The-Air (OTA) within a few weeks. All you?ll need to do is to have your NOOK Color connected to any Wi-Fi hotspot and the update will install automatically.

10:32:35 : Ron: 1.2 in a few weeks?

10:33:22 : Jason: Yes, that is right Ron. The current software version of the NOOK Color is 1.1. And it will be upgraded to 1.2.

10:34:52 : Ron: WOW. B&N should do a better job managing expectations. The web is saying 2.2 in April, and all they will get is 1.2!

10:35:14 : Ron: in a few weeks.

10:35:32 : Jason: Maybe you are referring to the Android version.

10:35:41 : Ron: YES

10:36:07 : Jason: Currently, the Android version of the NOOK Color is 2.1. Barnes & Noble policy to refrain from commenting on any specific features of any yet-to-be released software updates.

10:37:30 : Ron: the current version, available for download from the B&N website is 1.1.

10:38:27 : Jason: Yes, that is right Ron. We haven't released the version 1.2 software update. It will be released in the next few weeks.

10:38:32 : Jason: Is there anything else I can help you with?

10:38:59 : Ron: No. Thanks.
