I am more willing to throw down for this device now. Gotta really appreciate what these hackers can do; I know they are not exactly on the up-and-up, but they are helpful in adding extra functionality to devices.

Take the Palm Pre for example. Hackers rooted that device within days of its release, and now there is a dedicated hacker community churning out homebrew apps and patches. Palm has (intelligently) turned a blind eye to this, and in some cases spurring on the homebrew community. You know a great company when they are all for improving their devices and embrace homebrew community efforts.]]>Dec 17th 2009 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/Dec 16th 2009 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/Dec 16th 2009 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/
I'm glad I chose it over the Kindle. I was worried, but Android made me go for it.]]>Dec 16th 2009 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/
That's good to hear! I'm excited to get one, and more than willing to wait a bit.]]>Dec 16th 2009 10:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/

Perhaps B&N will turn a blind eye to this just like Palm did for the Pre? If they do, I would spring for one, even though I never considered myself in the market for an e-reader; this scenario is just too compelling to ignore.

Please let this go, B&N! You're customers will love you more for it (read: buy mo' of yo' stuff).]]>Dec 17th 2009 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/Dec 16th 2009 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/
It has uses the 3G data connection to buy books and such. These guys are taking advantage of that for other purposes. It has the same sort of connection that the Kindle has, I'm guessing. ]]>Dec 16th 2009 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/
so what would happen if you pop that SIM card into a data card for your laptop? unlimited data for now?

i have always been on Sprint sooo i'm not familiar if networks can put restrictions on sim cards to only work on certain devices.]]>Dec 16th 2009 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/
It does indeed have its own SIM card. See:

There is no actual physical sim card in the nook AFAIK so you cant take it out or clone it.

It is ATT 3G, for what its worth. You do get unlimited access for free, but I seriously doubt that the BN/ATT agreement included streamingmusic.

These guys are going to get smacked down in a little while.]]>Dec 16th 2009 11:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/Read: Don't even think about trying to use 3G for anything other then what its intended for.]]>Dec 16th 2009 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/Dec 17th 2009 12:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/Dec 17th 2009 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/rooted-nook-gets-pandora-shot-at-true-happiness/

It would really be fair-play to them if that was the outcome.]]>Dec 17th 2009 10:58AM
