Done! I went out and bought a Nook Color tonight and I'm going to FLASH this mother***er.

Actually, I've been meaning to get another tablet to give to my mom so that she can use it to listen and watch podcasts and have a little computer to use everywhere to keep track of income/expenses, etc. She REALLY doesn't want and doesn't need a phone-based device (although she would have liked GPS--but I think I may have a way to get it to do GPS... I'm going to do some experimenting with a bluetooth GPS dongle).

I said it elsewhere on TMO... this is a terrible marriage. A faltering hardware manufacturer and ANOTHER failing platform to replace their already-failing platform... the two worst flavors that go even worse together, in my opinion.
