Well, the Nook Colour has already gotten hardware acceleration with Honeycomb

This is almost a week after the SDK was released. It really makes you wonder why organizations with tens, if not hundreds, of engineers *and* who are privy to these releases before the general public, take so long pushing updates to their devices.

For the geek community, this would be a major selling point, though I suspect that the general populace is ignorant about such things.
