Dual boot with Nook2Android for the Nook Color

By Edwin Kee on 07/14/2011 09:36 PDT

If you happen to own a Nook Color in your tablet collection, then might we interest you in the ability to dual boot your device? We guess dual booting appeals only to the extremely curious or folks who love tinkering with whatever they have, and for most of us who take the safe route, you would be more or less happy with whatever comes out of the box. Nook Color owners can dual-boot your slate thanks to the Nook2Android SD memory card which was specially developed for such a purpose. This means added convenience, as you no longer need to remove your Nook2Android card in order to return to the standard Nook OS.

The 8GB card will retail for $35 a pop, while those who want four times the amount of space will have to fork out nearly three times the amount – $95. Bear in mind that not all computers will recognize the card when you try to install it, and there is no fix to that conundrum just yet apart from using a different computer.

Anyone given Nook2Android a go already?

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.
