I've been with android since day one of the G1 release, since then I've owned all the iconic Smartphones (G1, MT3G, Nexus One, EVO, DInc, DX, Galaxy S, G2, Nexus S), I had heard about the Nook Color as it was being released with some moddified version of android, with its main purpose as an eReader so I bought it for my wife about 2 months ago. Was thrilled to learn of its FroYo capability's from a day of trolling around the fourms, Next thing I knew Honeycomb came out for it and I ran over to B&N to buy me another one.

I love this little Nookie.
[Nook Color General] EdInBTR:
I've been a Linux user since late 2002 and purchased the original Droid the day it was released and am still happily using it. I was wanting the Motorola Xoom, but the pricing is just crazy out the shoot, so I will be picking up a Nook Color tomorrow and putting Honeycomb on it this weekend. Sounds like it should do just fine until these is some more competition in the market.

I was an avid Linux user for several years before jumping ship to Macs for a number of reasons including having an iPhone 3GS. Got the iPhone 4 at launch. Using a Nook Color now for tablet and reader purposes, and it is my first true Android device (b&w nook doesn't count). I have no immediate plans on giving up my iPhone, but I am also not planning on giving up the NC for the iPad 2, though my sig. other will be getting one.

The NC really brought me back to my Windows Mobile days of ROM flashing and the like. It's fun to do, but I'd rather not mess with it too much on my daily use phone.

iOS + Android -- Why can't we all just get along?

This is my first Android device, i had and still have an ipod Touch 3g.
[Nook Color General] BikeAR:
First Android device.

Still trying to decide if my linux experience is a benefit or a curse (Why is [insert any file/dir here] not where I usually find it !?!?).

Currently using iPhone 3GS (jailbroken, of course).

Previous XDA experience was with AT&T Tilt/HTC Kaiser ROMs (Windows Mobile 5/6 was a dark time in my life).
[Nook Color General] :
Not my first. Me and my girl have had Droids for over a year now. Nook is awesome. Running phiremod now.
[Nook Color General] OB1J3D1:
Not my first.

Droid 1 - Samsung Fascinate - Nook Color.

But, the phones stayed stock. The Nook is rooted.
[Nook Color General] jcollierdavis:
I've been using linux as a daily driver in my personal computers for about two years now.

Had a Droid Incredible coming up on a year now. It is completely stock. I don't mess with it because I don't think it's worth the risk to not have a phone.

Nook color is a fun toy to experiment with.

Android

Have been using Linux for ~ 5 years.

Switched from a berry to an Evo 4G last year, rooted and now running Fresh ROM. My wife always complained whenever I would update her phones, but she loves her Evo.

I bought the NC for her for XMas, but she prefers her Kindle, and it became my toy. Still looking for the perfect ROM...

coming from Palm/HP

First Android device for me.

Have used various Palm PDAs, Dell Axim X51v (Windows Mobile 5), and even my Palm Pre for reading ebooks for years, but have been interested in a larger ereader because the small text is hard on my eyes and those small screens are not good for PDFs.

Was hoping that HP would ship a WebOS tablet and new phones soon after their product announcements a couple weeks ago, but we won't see anything before summer. Pretty tired of waiting for new WebOS products from HP/Palm, so decided the Nook Color would be a great way to check out the Android platform to see if it is something I want to move to for my tablet and phone needs.

Really happy with the Nook Color. Prefer the WebOS user interface over Android, but there's a lot to be said for the quantity of Android apps.
[Nook Color General] ngrenn35:
Not my first had a g1 at launch my current phone is the Pre came back to android when i got my wife the lg optimus s saw what was going on with the Nook so i pick one up.

Bookie color (full of headaches) so far

I bought a nexus one when it came out switching from blackberry. I have been obsessed ever since. Now I have a G2 and a nook. MY favorite thing to do is just mess with them.
[Nook Color General] skeeterpro:
Yup. Android noob here. Still have nightmares seeing the old IBM cards from college back in 70's. Progressed through DOS, Win 3.1, 9x, 2K, XP and now 7 w/several certs. Android harkens me back to DOS days (different commands but welcome prompt!) Loking forward to learning this OS now.
[Nook Color General] cashen:
WebOS user here! Android is very odd to me and frankly i feel you have to be a computer "geek" to understand it and actually take the time to customize it.

I'm just used to how simple WebOS is.

The nook is my first android device.

So I didnt know what I was missing with the stock Nook Color android. Then I bought my girlfriend a cheapish android phone. Loved it.

So I installed 2.2 on an sd card for the nook. Love the possibilities, hate the lack of polish for many apps. I also get what the guy at the store told me when I bought the nook, Android is really not ready for tablets but the Nook interface is really nice in every way.

What I dont get is why on earth the stock Nook color is so darn slow, especially compared to 2.2 running of a micro sd.

But I'm an android fan now.
[Nook Color General] UltimatePR:
I was n Android User with like 3 tablets and a Samsung Galaxy S but these NOOK COLOR is the BEASTT
[Nook Color General] :
I started with an HTC Droid Eris and have recently acquired a Droid X. After the Droid X I really started to appreciate the Android OS.

I sold my Kindle DX so that I could acquire an Android tablet instead and use the Kindle app. At first I went with the Viewsonic G Tablet, but the viewing angles where terrible. I finally settled on the Color Nook!
[Nook Color General] zdux0012:
Coming from Maemo this OS scares me. It is like a creepy guy constantly asking personal questions. In exchange you get games and apps.

In maemo I can do anything easily without it tracking me.

In short:

Excel, Word to PDF, Nes, Wii, PS3, etc... versus Angry Birds
[Nook Color General] aaps:
I'm coming from a OG Droid that I had for about a year and then recently switched to a Droid Incredible. My wife has a DInc too. The NC is my first tablet and I'm glad it has such great developer support. I'm running HC on it and it is great!

Never touched Android (don't actually own a smart phone). Experience with osx/linux/win*.

Had the iPhone 3, 3gs, then 4. Never really loved it but it was familiar and safe. Got the NC as first android device, loved android so much, I borrowed an iphone from work, dropped in sim from my iphone 4, and sold the 4 to buy a streak. Should be here on the 13th. I can not wait I'm loving android os so far.

[Nook Color General] Dollyllama:
I've always been a computer/tech nerd, but didn't even get my first smartphone until 2 years ago (Blackberry Storm). I loved the phone at the time until last summer I began learning about Android. I bought my first Android phone (OG Droid) off ebay in October since my Verizon contract wasn't up yet. I enjoyed it a lot, got my wife one too...she also loved it. I learned more and more about the OS and development. In December I started buying Droid Xs on ebay and matching broken screen phones with Good ESN with Good phones with bad ESN, taking them apart and selling them. Doing this with a few phones and selling the OG Droids, I managed to break even expenditure wise and ended up with a new Droid X for both my wife and myself. I've been developing for about the past 2 months and have a few apps on the market. I love the platform. Just got a Nook Color last week ... loving it.
[Nook Color General] Droiddict:
3rd Android Device

The Nook is my third Android device. I bought the original Droid at launch but never rooted it. I read about all the roms but liked it well enough the way it was. I have since upgraded to a DroidX and passed the first on to my husband. I also have an iPad and several other Apple devices but the Droid was my first smart phone.

I bought a Nook Color primarily because it is easy to root. I wanted something smaller than the iPad for travel but would not have been happy with a device that could not play podcasts, audiobooks and access Kindle books. I thought about buying a Galaxy Tab but liked the price and features of the Nook and figured it would give me chance to play with the OS. So far, I am running stock rooted and not sure if I want to go further than that. I'm waiting to find out what happens with HoneyComb and the new B&N version.
[Nook Color General] flashfox:
I am a Windows person when it comes to computers. However, I am an Android person when it comes to phones (rooted G1, rooted Nexus One, modified HD2 to Android, rooted Vibrant)... and rooted Nook Color. I am also a CyanogenMOD fan ;-)

nope, never used android til nook. I don't have a phone yet (wife has eris)

[Nook Color General] razmajazz:
First Android device for me (stuck with Blackberry phone for work but at least I don't have to pay for it). Played around with various SD images but still using rooted stock for everyday. Just switched from Zeam to GO Launcher EX and trying different icons and widgets on the homescreen.
[Nook Color General] Fishfoot:
I was a lover of the IPhone. My nook color with CM7 is a device I've dreamed about since I was a child.
[Nook Color General] mjesenovec:
Not my first android, nor my first ebook.

I've had a droid Eris, OG Droid (still have it, rooted, Liquid Froyo), currently use Thunderbolt (rooted with VirusRom)

I've had an original Kindle (sold), Aluratek Libre (great inexpensive unit, going to sell), and now my Nook Color. So far so good with the device. I've just been using it to read so far. I'm waiting for the official 2.2 update. I want to root the device, but i would much rather have a stock rooted 2.2 than a custom ROM for now.
[Nook Color General] mjesenovec:
Oops! It's actually an Aluratek Libre Pro...not that it matters though. ;)
[Nook Color General] dexx0008:
never used android before picking up a nook color.

mainly a os x user, but will use whatever os will get the job done the fastest.

wanted a non apple product for a change, i really like my iphone4, but feel it is weak for personalizing it a bit unless you jailbreak. been down the jailbreak road before.

i didn't like the ipad size, but the nook color has nice dimensions. I've chosen to run android off a class 10 sd card, fast enough and retains nook as stock for when the wife uses it.
[Nook Color General] mjesenovec:
Very nice! I'm watiing to get my class 10 8GB in the mail. I have been waiting to root and such, but if i can mess with android running solely off the card, that might keep me entertained before the official 2.2 is released.
[Nook Color General] poppscc:
after using the ipad for a while, I went and bought a NC with my brief experience with an android phone. the tablet is with me whenever possible. I friggin love it. tethering to it is a joy, and the customizations are truely awesome. IMO, the software and file management put android devices in a league of their own, compared to the ipad. I love the fact that I can access files across my android devices without anything in between.
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
This actually is my first Android device. Before this I was very pro Ipod, and had planned on buying an Iphone since I liked my ipod touch so much. But android is a lot closer to what a little computer should be.

Ipod just isn't very... well open. The gui is nice, but it really locks things up for the end users that want to customize and play with it more. I've always been a windows user, and maybe windows isn't the best os, but i've always felt like my phone or these "tablets" should be more like it. (I.E customizable, and open to anyone who wants to improve on it.)

After having my nook, I've seriously reconsidered ever buying another Apple product and see myself buying an HTC Incredible in fall if nothing (specs wise, not 4g wise) better comes out around it's (Almost free) price range.
[Nook Color General] initial_k:
I got the G1, the original and first android phone.

Went from the G1 to the Iphone, to the HTC hero to the G2. So the nook is my 4th android device.

Love my G2 and Nook, they are fast enough for me. Iphone was simple to use, but very overrated.
[Nook Color General] bachviet:
Yes - tried the G1 but returned, used the Google Ion, and now using the Nexus One.
[Nook Color General] {Diemex}:
The nook also was my first android device.

But I sold it and got a galaxy tab. Its just so much more capable than the nook.

But the nook made me really love android.

did custom themeing but only did it for myself never did any mass releases due to not having time fix any issues it could arise on phones
[Nook Color General] SCWells72:
First Android device for me. I went from a Treo 650 to an iPhone 3G to an iPhone 4. I really like my iPhone but I'm not an Apple fanboy. I have a Mac MINI, a Windows 7 laptop, and an Ubuntu laptop at home; I have all three consoles and both handheld gaming devices (though not the 3DS...yet). I'm a gadget guy. I like to see how different companies solve the same problems.

What prompted me to buy the NOOKcolor, though? Last winter I attended a huge user conference and lugged my laptop and a HUGE hardcover book with me and immediately noticed I was one of about a dozen people (out of 30K+!) who didn't have some kind of tablet. That pretty much convinced me that I wanted to give tablet computing a try, but not knowing how (or how much) I'd use one, I wanted to dip my toe in the water vs. spending $500-1000 on something that might be gathering dust in a few weeks/months. When I learned that the NC had been rooted as a functional Android tablet for $250, I saw it as an opportunity to try tablet computing for a decent price point where, worst case scenario, I would end up with a nice eReader.

Overall I've been really impressed with Android. There are some things that really surprise me about it, particularly the lack of proxy support and Cisco VPN support. Still, overall it's a very nice OS and very flexible, and the community that's gathered around the NOOKcolor is nothing short of astounding!
[Nook Color General] BlizzofOZ:
I was (and still am atm) an iPhone user... I've jailbroken mine and am used to tweaking stuff.

I got the NC because I'm interested in developing apps... found that the iPhone is just to hard to do that with.

Also wanted a tablet and eReader... got this on sale for $200!

Hi all

I'd like to be able to stream videos which are on my desktop PC to my phone possibly via some server/client set-up and the wireless network. To my surprise I haven't been able to find anything in the marketplace which advertises this ability. I'd very much like it if VLC could be used as the server but that's only incidental.

Thanks

I was actually tinkering with this tonight.. I was about to hit the hay when I saw this thread.. so i will chime in..

I went as far as to install a WAMP setup on my Media PC / Server. Then in my doc root I would structure my videos, mp3's photos, etc..

I did some port forwarding on my router and poked some holes in my firewall so my Media Server could listen on port 80.. so my laptop pulled server good..

I also own the HD7, and what I also confirmed was that i could hit the server from IE on the phone..and stream .wmv's successfully.. kewl..

Now all I need to do is develop a better webpage to house the content and make it look good.. possible MetroUI look.. scroll to the right or left instead of up and down.. I am also trying to include ffmpeg so I can have the functionality of the website taking a thumnail of the video upon upload and using it as the img src for the link to the video in my WP7-web-app..

Makes it even better that PHP is compiled on the server so i can do some trick things for the website..

I miss TCPMP... :(

Only when needed

Video Resolution: 640 by 480

Image Resolution: 1280 by 1024

Use DirectShow: Windows Media Video 7

Wireless G - Connection Quality High

While not an option yet, Microsofts next version of Windows Home server is going to have Windows Phone 7 integration. The next public release version that is suppose to support this functionality is rumored to come out some time in February. From using earlier builds of Vail (code-name for new version) it will do transcoding of media files and hopefully some of the issues that I experienced in the early beta versions will be resolved when the near final release is available.

I also have the actual transcoding process nailed down, I am just facing issues getting the transcoded stream delivered to the handset on the fly. A bunch of .Net restrictions have hampered my success. I've got a couple more avenues to explore but looks like I might have to write it from the ground up using the Win32 SDKs, in which case I'll likely be old before we get somewhere.
