[Nook Color General] hurrpancakes:
Well I bought a Nook Color at a local electronics store, gonna try it out for 2 weeks, and if I like it, I might just return it and pick up the Nook Tablet for an extra $50. So far, I like having a blacklit screen as opposed to my Nook Simple Touch's e-ink screen, and the opportunity to put videos on it is a good thing too!
[Nook Color General] ThomasKru:
That's an idea, I will test my Nook with a Bluetooth GPS logger (Wintec WBT-202). That would be a premium navigation solution for the car.
[Nook Color General] majorpay:
Maybe a little off topic, but kinda not really:

Is the Nook Color or even the Nook Color 2 consideration for the next gen device with the Vizio tab coming in at $200?

I'm curious, because I've been having itchy trigger finger for the V-Tab, but I've been holding off to see if anyone is actually successful with rooting it.

Camera, GPS, IR, Microphone, etc - sounds like good stuff to me?

I haven't seen any info on gaming on the thing, but I'd have to imagine it will be as good if not better than the Nook, right?
[Nook Color General] e.mote:
>I've been holding off to see if anyone is actually successful with rooting it.

The fact that it's been out for a few months, but still has yet to garner any community support, should tell you all you need to know. Hardware specs aside, if a tech toy doesn't have community support, it's dead.

And the Vizio's hardware is nothing to write home about: 4GB storage, 512MB RAM, 1 GHz Marvell Armada 600 SoC, mediocre screen, heavy (1.2 lbs), etc. Just another craptab.
[Nook Color General] rhester72:
I kinda wish we hadn't. Given the devices have a lot more in common than they have differences (and may well ultimately run the -same- binary build of CM), this really just means people have to look in two different places for common information that would apply to either/both.

>I kinda wish we hadn't.

I agree. It would've been better, with respect to organizational efficiency and discussion synergy, to have devices organized by brands and model lines. That would allow accumulated knowledge & expertise to better carry over from old to new.

IMO, XDA's flat whatever-comes-next scheme is quickly becoming untenable, considering the multitude of new devices coming out in the future. From the few hints dropped by said powers, they know it's a problem, and I'm assuming (hoping) that a revamp is in the works.

There is a lot to be said for a 7", fits in the pocket of slacks, easy to hold and read for long periods with one hand...
[Nook Color General] br0adband:
10" tablets are just not that useful to me and millions of others. To this day I still say the Nook Color has a near-perfect form factor for such a device, and I am VERY HAPPY that Barnes & Noble realizes this because of making the Nook Tablet the same form factor and not creating an entirely new case/device when it wasn't necessary. 10" is obviously larger (DOH!!!) and that would provide more room for a larger battery as the electronics wouldn't necessarily increase in space requirements, but that just makes the device much heavier (larger display + larger battery = almost all the weight). Nah, 7" is pretty much right where the sweet spot is, even more so than the newer 8.9" models now coming into being.

My truly perfect form factor would be a device the size of a DVD case but half as thick - now THAT is really awesome but nothing out there has come close to that yet, except of course the Nook Color and now the Nook Tablet. I had high hopes for the BlackBerry Playbook when it came out, and it has a nice size and form factor, but the NC/NT just beat it to pieces, especially since BlackBerry pooched themselves by choosing their own custom OS (regardless of the fact that it might be possible to run Android stuff on it with all the crap they're doing now).

The NC/NT are the best at what they do. The Kindle Fire had so much promise as I first saw it and started reading the specs. When I noted no ePub support, then no microSD slot, then some other issues (ones I personally won't tolerate), I knew I'd be waiting to see what B&N would come out with, and the Nook Tablet is nearly perfect given the current state of technology.

I still hope someone will create a form factor device that's exactly what I want: a DVD case form factor that's half as thick. And just so people understand what I mean, this is what I mean (not a CD case, but a DVD case):

Now, cut that in half to about 7-9mm in height and I'd be one very happy camper. The NC/NT is 0.48 inches so about 12mm thick, if they could knock that back a few millimeters it would be pretty awesome, but as it stands, the design of the NC/NT is outstanding.

But a "DVD box" sized device... perfect. ;)
[Nook Color General] e.mote:
>I still say the Nook Color has a near-perfect form factor for such a device

My preference would be for a 4:3 device in 7" or 8" size. The reason is that many PDFs still use the 4:3 (11:8.5) layout. On a 16:9 device, the width is constricted enough to render the text unintelligible w/o the hassle of manual resizing. Comic readers also face the same situation.

epub/mobi's aren't usually a problem, since they're mostly text and can be reflowed to fit whatever aspect.

It's the same for web browsing, but not quite as bad, since web layouts don't tend to be "hard-coded" as it is for PDF ebooks. But on the NC, you're still presented with too-skinny text columns when in portrait, or lots of v-scrolling when in landscape.

Really, the 16:9 is only good for watching movies, and truth be known, watching movies on a 7" isn't a rewarding experience.

I think the NC/NT is fine, but I'm hoping that Amazon will continue the battle and one-up the Nook with a larger size, hopefully using 4:3, and this time with the damn SD slot! And for B&N to follow-up with another one-upper! So I'm cheering both sides on.
[Nook Color General] Temetka:
I agree. I've kinda fallen a bit for the Coby 8" Tablets with a capacative screen. They have the Coby Kyros MID8127 Tablet with the capacitive screen, 1GHz A8 CPU and 512MB of RAM looks pretty nice. At 1Ghz, its 200Mhz faster than a stock NC. I've seen these at Fry's electronics and they feel pretty snappy. I am considering buying one.

That being said, I love the Nook Color. It's more than a reader, it's more than a tablet, for me it is an experience. I can do so much with it, it looks freakin' awesome and it was only $250. Now that's what I'm talkin about. I know, I know I sound like a dork. So what? Very few consumer electronic devices these days have any sort of personality or thought put into them. The Nook oozes both and is well built.
[Nook Color General] azshorty2003:
@br0adband

agree 100% love the 7" over all the alternatives. Barnes and Noble really did nail it on the first try. Now the NT improves that. Only thing I would Change if the shell size. Too much plastic around the screen.
[Nook Color General] br0adband:
Just read the Kindle Fire review at Engadget and watched all the videos too... I'm 100% positive I would not buy one over the Nook Tablet even though it is just a tiny bit smaller in terms of overall size (basically a PlayBook since they're made by Qanta and designed by the same developers that created the PlayBook as well). Even if, by some miracle of hacking, the Kindle Fire turns out to be an outstanding device for us enthusiasts, it's just missing some aspects (microSD, etc) that give me no pause whatsoever towards purchasing the NT.

Nook Tablet, here I come. ;)

Supposedly Someone's already rooted the Kindle Fire

http://www.tgdaily.com/security-brief/59670-someones-already-rooted-the-kindle-fire
[Nook Color General] br0adband:
Barnes & Noble decided to one-up Amazon in some respects and ship a day early, so people that pre-ordered the NT should be getting theirs today, as some folks already have them.

Wish I was one of 'em, but soon enough I suppose.

goldenu: Ok, now that you've got one, give us some reports on usability as compared to the NC if you ever used one. Snappiness, responsiveness, lag on the UI, that sorta thing. Every little report or review comes in handy. :p
[Nook Color General] F14Scott:
Now that Amazon has released the Fire's source code publicly, how long before someone puts a Fire ROM on a chip that would let Nook Tablet owners dual boot?

If that gets done, the question of which color ereader to buy ceases to exist.

[Nook Color General] majorpay:
I'm not saying that I know one way or another, but when mentioning that the hardware is nothing to write home about, we should put into perspective that it's being compared to a Nook Color, while coming in at a lower price point, right?

GPS, IR, Mic, camera... It's still tempting, but I already have an NC, so I'm not sure purchasing one would be justified (but then again, like I said before, I have 3 Vizio big screens, so the IR *could* come in handy...

The strong possibility of ICS on the NC, with the big development community is what makes me still lean towards the NC.

But as far as quality is concerned, the LG Revolution, after being "fixed" by the dev community was a pretty solid performer, yet it got no dev love. Whether a device gets dev attention or not, doesn't appear to be indicative of quality.

They apparently rooted the V-Tab recently...
[Nook Color General] patruns:
I am not sure that anyone on this forum is interested in dual booting into two walled gardens, especially when one is Amazon. It's all about opening up the o/s to the full market. I for one would never buy the Nook Tablet and then give Amazon my money for books and apps. As it is, I buy all of my ebooks from B&N now on my NC. I have the Kindle app but have never used it. We should all support B&N for providing this rootable device, not the competition.
[Nook Color General] majorpay:
Yeah, that would be great given two things:

1. The B&N app worked well on the NC (all of my free books said "could not open").

2. B&N was price competitive with Kindle. I tend to buy everything at the lowest price if the product is the same.
[Nook Color General] darien87:
Books are the same price from either aren't they? Every time I've compared prices between B&N and Amazon they were exactly the same. It's the publisher that sets the price not the retailer.

I personally think all eBooks should be a set price, like $5. All it is is space on a server somewhere. There's no printing or shipping costs. Pisses me off that they want me to spend $15 on a new book just because it's out in hardback. What's that got to do with me?
[Nook Color General] majorpay:
Actually, no... Depending on the book, it's not the same across the board. I have bought a book at 1/2 that of B&N on Amazon before. I am not an extreme e-book person, so I couldn't tell you what the "normal" case is. I like the B&N app better because it's a little more stylish, but saying that, like I said, the few free books I received from them, I couldn't even open! (said couldn't open the file format).
[Nook Color General] Odenknight:
Was this on a rooted NC, or a stock one. There are a few troubleshooting techniques that could fix that issue. (I used to do technical support for B&N, and have fixed this issue before based on your platform and app.).

With that said, I am eyeing the NT very closely, and looking to give my CM7 NC to my kids full time.
[Nook Color General] DaveZ_PDX:
I had the same issue on (stock) NC - trying to open free books I'd dnloaded from B&N and had read on my original Nook, and neither nook color nor nook app on iphone would open those books. Sync them from my 'nook library' sure, and have them in the interface, tantalizingme. Click on them & get "can't open that document". One reason I converted my NC to CM7, I was so teed off that the stupid thing wouldn't read stuff that worked on my nook original. And yes, I tried B&N support, in person & on the phone. They did not help at all. "Gosh! Never heard of that, let's re-register your device again"

So now I read my free books with an android mkt app, and still use B&N app for B&N content.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gedster314:
This does not really bother me that much. I stopped visiting Dildo wearing lesbian midget nymphs a long time ago. I can see why they want this info. Doesn't dolphin mini have a turbo mod where you can have their servers optimize the page for your phone. So they want to precache popular pages.

An opt out would be nice. I just added them to my host and redirected it. Dolphin is the best browser for me, so I will keep using it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Hmmm Dolphin responded, and their reasons for doing this, while rather stupid in terms of implementation, seem harmless. It has to do with the browser's Webzine feature. So they turned off the server for now (urls are still being broadcast however) until they can implement a toggle in the browser itself.

No. Support for the Desire/Bravo has finished. Although HTC have posted on Facebook that they hope to get it on as many devices as possible, what they mean is that it will most likely be only on phones that have been released in the last six months. Bear in mind that the Desire is coming up for its second birthday...

The only hope for ICS on the Desire is in the hands of the Devs. If/when they can port it (and I'm sure they will) then that it the only way you will be able to get it.

Searching through the internet I have come across a firmware for the Emdoor EM86 that actually has working 3G. I have installed this myself on my tablet using the FWDN tool.

[Motorola Droid X2] in99flames:
hello, I am running the current public release at the time of this post(v1.1). I have a Jabra SP700 bluetooth FM speaker for my car. I am uncertain if this is a fault of the rom or the hardware of my bluetooth speaker. I am leaning more towards the bluetooth but I figured I would ask the community.

I play music through this to my car stereo. Frequently the bluetooth drops the audio connection at random times. The phone and speaker say the X2 is connected, but the audio ceases. Within a minute the sound will play through the phone speaker not the bluetooth. Then the bluetooth will say "disconnected" and begin searching to reconnect. My X2 will state the bluetooth is still connected. In order for me to get the phone connected, I need to power off the bluetooth then disable and reenable bluetooth on the X2.

I believe this has happened with previous versions, ive been using eclipse since it started. Although I cannot remember if it works correctly with the bluetooth bone stock.

I am leaning towards the bluetooth since the bluetooth is about 2 years old now...but I was wondering if anybody used a similar bluetooth piece and experienced similar issues. Thanks!!

There is a known issue with the bluetooth function on 1.1

I had heard people saying that with the newest ((1.2rc3)) that the issue had been fixed.

I don't use bluetooth do I cannot confirm but that might be the issue

I didn't think that older BTdevices would become "obsolete" . I thought any newer phones that support bluetooth would encompass all older BTdevices not exclude them. I can see an older phone not connecting to newer bluetooth but not older bluetooth not connect to newer phone.

Nitro tweeted that the new eclipse final should be out tomorrow. Hr has known about the bluetooth bug for a while so I am sure it was a priority fix.

It is possible tho that there is something faulty with your bluetooth device. Have you tried contacting the manufacturers of it to see if that is a known problem with that device? They may be able to help troubleshoot it also.
[Motorola Droid X2] in99flames:
Thanks ash. As usual you are helpful and nice :) the speaker is way out of warranty. Ive owned it for 2 years. The battery os startong to go too. I never doubted the compatibility of the speaker...just the performance. It has acted odd in the past. I did not notice an issue initially with the X2. Since it started acting up i was pretty sure it was the bluetooth just showing its age and starting to malfunction. Well at least i do not have to buy anothee speaker just yet :)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Thanks ;)

Even if it is out pf warranty they may be the type of company who is willing to repair or help with problems just to keep your loyalty to their products. Who knows you may be able to talk them into a rebate on new product or a coupon or something :). Might be worth a shot. Just be site you tell them you promote the product to people you know and in forums you post in. I have been looking for either a wired or bluetooth speaker for my x2 and not sure what to go with. . I saw one in the VZW store I

that looked nice but $199 is a bit steep for a speaker for me lol

And it seems like any other speaker I find (wired or bluetooth) is labeled do I ipod /iphone etc... im thinking the wired would work okay((headphones jack type)) but am not willing to shell out the 50$ that ill only get back in store credit for opened electronic in a store I barely shop at lol. Im sure ill find something sometime and ur post introduced me to a different one to look into. Curious if new eclipse final will fix your problems. Good luck.

Its odd that it will work for a while and then cut off. Wonder if it may be the "receiver " in the device not working correctly. Maybe something wiggled loose. Might be worth taking it apart((if possible) and checking where things connect to each other it giving it a wipe down and clean it up. Maybe dirt is interfering with something inside due to its age.

Or IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT. YOU USED IT TO MUCH FOR WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED FOR AND IT IS DEAD NOW ...lol j/k...im sure something can be done to fix it if it isn't eclipse that is causing the problem. ..its just a matter of is it worth the time to fix or buy a new one..
[Motorola Droid X2] in99flames:
