All those with a B & N Nook Color should be happy to hear that a new update is due out and its going to be bringing some nice features to the Android e-reader. Thos features will include access to some Froyo applications, games, Flash Support in web browsing and email. The update does not give full access to the Android Market however, but there’s still a few nice tidbits of apps they’ve thrown in none the less making this a pretty good bundle.
The update will show frequently used apps right beside your read books and magazines, and flash browsing will allow you to play all the online videos you want. The reading functionality has been updated as well to allow ‘read and play’ for childrens books, where the book can have interactive games and challenges with the text and pics. For other books, page turn animations have been added, with landscape reading if one desires, as well as added videos within the books as well. Great for ‘How-to’ articles and books. Other improvements include a new social portal which allows a user to see what their friends are reading, and even request to ‘borrow’ a book they have.
The update will be made available to all Nook Color owners over the ext few weeks to Wi-Fi connected devices, but you can also download and install the update manually from here.
