Providing free unlimited 3G service to all those hacked nooks will kill B&N's budget like a bullet through the head.]]>Dec 21st 2009 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/Dec 21st 2009 10:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/Dec 22nd 2009 3:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/Dec 22nd 2009 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/Dec 21st 2009 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/Dec 21st 2009 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/Dec 21st 2009 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/

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 the process of slowly moving the cursor (*) to the word I want to look up is torturous, then there is a number of .5 seconds involved in showing the definition, its next page(s), and then refreshing the page itself. Wouldn't it be nice if we could have a virtual keyboard on touchscreen, type in the word, see the definition on the touchscreen itself, scroll up and down there (touchscreen) [maybe even hearing the pronunciation]?

(*) As I have seen in a review on youtube, the process of selecting a word for looking up is the same on nook too.]]>Dec 21st 2009 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/Dec 21st 2009 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/
YES! I had no interest in the Nook at all but now I'm definitely intrigued. I'm probably going to adopt a wait-and-see attitude though, see how B&N handles the situation.]]>Dec 22nd 2009 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/Dec 21st 2009 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/Dec 21st 2009 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/
It's not open, it's hacked. Wait and see what B&N's response is before celebrating.]]>Dec 21st 2009 10:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/]]>Dec 21st 2009 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't ATT providing their service, gratis, thanks to B&N? Just like the Kindle?

Anyway, I don't see people trying to browse the internet on this thing, so I'm assuming the worst thing that hacking will bring is tethering. Luckly for ATT, their bandwidth isn't worth the jack and spit its made of. People will try it, quickly get bored of waiting for a decent connection and never try it again...The problem basically solves itself :)]]>Dec 22nd 2009 1:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/Dec 22nd 2009 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-doesnt-affect-hacks-root-still-possible/Dec 22nd 2009 2:39PM
