Arc, how d performance is on d nook? With droid

lol @ low blow.

I can confirm though that the kind of abilities one gets with custom Android roms CANNOT be replicated by even men versed in the tech. These things require some serious programming skills. Trust me on that one.

I can confirm that the nook color runs nice as a tablet. Got one for my fiancée.

As for this whole rom discussion, think some misunderstood the reason why I was impressed. My last three phones were nokias and I didn't have much in terms of so called roms. The fact that I can now install a new rom that vastly improves my user experience blew me away. Certain negatives listed in reviews for my phone were totally fixed with darky eg. The lack of a physical shutter key was fixed by simply mapping the power button as a shutter button.

I know you can customize stock roms but for me a custom rom is just convenient. It literally takes 5 minutes once you know what to do. Oh and hey look I typed out this whole post on the captivate, getting used to the virtual keyboard though I still haven't grasped swype usage.

same here i dont think anything of what we said was directly related to your comments,

and good to know that the nook runs good as a tablet... might be in the market for a e-reader so will look into that

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #146 on:** February 23, 2011, 07:33:13 PM »

I'm still leaning towards the kindle as an e-reader because its niche.

I fear the nook will become a plaything at home.

If my kid is sitting in the corner with his kindle, I'd like to be relatively certain he is reading a book and not playing Angry Birds. lol

Naturally, for those without kids, this logic need not apply.

True though also remember that eink is better for reading text. Less eye fatigue

Nope they wanted it to be as close to reading on paper as possible. You would need light, they even got night light attachments hehe.

MessiaaH · « **Reply #150 on:** February 23, 2011, 09:35:22 PM »

no backlight? tuh hell wiht that lol. NEXT!

woodyear99 · « **Reply #151 on:** February 23, 2011, 10:11:54 PM »

Yeah though I know quite a few people enjoying their kindles. Mostly people that read many books.

Android Honeycomb Review!

kindle is rated best at what it does, eink is better for reading than any backlit screen available today. The proof is in the figures. Not to mention it gets better battery life. A simple LED light is all that is required for the kindle and sure enough amazon sells that with it.

MessiaaH · « **Reply #154 on:** February 23, 2011, 11:28:51 PM »

No doubt kindle is d best at what it does, but no backlight is ah absolute dealbreaker for me, and i dont want no secondary led light. and d 10" kindles expensive, like 350$, another 150 yuh have yushelf ah ipad. d smaller kindles @ 130 is d marph if u comfortable with d reduced screensize.

If I was a serious reader reading several books a month then I'd definitely choose a kindle. An lcd screen would lead to eye fatigue reading so much text.

Well this is a thread about android in a forum for gamers so I thought I'd share some decent android multiplayer games.

Another HoneyComb review.

I was initially a bit excited bout this, in the end, still not impressed.
My tablet needs will have to wait again.
