Nook Color - Android 7 inch Tablet from Barnes & Noble
Since this is Android development forum, I will start from the bad news.. at this time there is NO way to install your own applications on the device:
- No Android Market
- Eclipse does NOT recognize the device
- downloading APK via Web display message "Install blocked: Installation of downloaded apks in not supported."
- copying APK files via USB to device does nothing
I hope that will change soon and someone "leak" the hack how to change that.
Having said the negative I have to say that I LOVE the device:
- great form factor and beautiful design
- perfect size to sit on pockets, jeans and jacket
- great screen size and relatively good response
- good reading of books and magazines
- good browser experience
Things I wish for:
- installation of my own applications (in Q1 2011)
- native Android implementation of software not scaled down Flex Air
- Netflix movie playback, in browser (Silverlight) or as an app
- offline notebook application for writing articles

I have tried putting Launcher.apk on the SD card and typing:
file:///sdcard/Launcher.apk
I got the pop-up message:
Install blocked: Installation of downloaded apks in not supported.
Bummer.
