But if I remember right, it has free 3G built in for life.
Having it be able to run streaming, full web browsing, etc may be a bit of a problem and could loose them their 3G deal with AT&T. (Too lazy to google at 5AM to check if its AT&T, but if I remember right it was AT&T)

Little tiny 1-2MB (At very most) ebooks are so tiny it barely leaves a dent in any 3G network, but streaming Pandora will.]]>Dec 17th 2009 5:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/
Thats a very good point. So sad when you think about it that way. AT&T will not want to compromise it network any more than it has to. Imagine losing service on your Nook when trying to download a book XD.]]>Dec 17th 2009 5:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/

Yes be careful or they will use their reading abilities to destroy America.]]>Dec 17th 2009 5:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/Dec 17th 2009 5:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/
Your nook cannot connect to other cellular data networks in the United States. It cannot connect to any international cellular data networks, including those in Canada and Mexico. Wi-Fi connectivity is possible globally.]]>Dec 17th 2009 5:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/Dec 17th 2009 7:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/
With that in mind, it is possible for them to only allow access to their eBooks website for purchasing. correct me if im wrong]]>Dec 17th 2009 5:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/Dec 17th 2009 8:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/Dec 17th 2009 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/Dec 17th 2009 7:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/

It's almost like B&N wanted this to happen.]]>Dec 17th 2009 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/nook-hacked-with-web-browser-facebook-and-twitter-for-starters/
It's a simple problem [or at least seems much simpler than running a browser :P ]
- My first and second languages are not English so while reading a book I need to use the dictionary a lot... and it takes a hell of a long time from the point I want to look up a word to the point when I'm back to the book reading the rest.

I guess it's eInk's response time fault, you push a key, it takes half a second to show the menu, then you laboriously and patiently select the word, you wait another half a second to definition to show up, then maybe next page, then menu again, then back to reading after another half a second for page to show up.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could have a virtual keyboard on touchscreen, key in the word, see the definition on the touchscreen itself, scroll up and down there (touchscreen) [maybe even hearing the pronunciation]. Kindly remember that English unofficially (practically) is becoming the official international language so there are a lot of people who are not native English speakers and use the dictionary regularly.

Also according to Oscar Wild [thanks to my Gen3 Cybook on which I read this!] : "We have really everything in common with America nowadays except, of course, language." So there are maybe some Brits who want to use a dictionary to understand your language ;)

So maybe it's a good idea [necessity!]
