A fair question, JJ. That's what I'm doing right now. The only risk is if any of the content unique to a given tablet (in the case of NT, the B&N store and Netflix HD) are of interest to the user, and if they make changes to those features that cause them to stop working if you don't update the OS. In my case neither of those features is of any import so I can hold tight. But others' MMV. What will make the difference for me is if the XDA team can't get 2ndinit or alternate OSes bootable on the NT. In that case it really does become a dead end. Live with a rooted 1.4.0 or 1.4.1 on it and be left behind as newer and better tablet environments become available, or sit and wait for someone to root the next version when it comes out (and so on)? Neither is useful for any reasonable long haul. Part of the reason the original Nook did so well was that it was open enough to keep the XDA community interested in doing stuff with (to) it. If the limitations I've just described are not eliminated, IME the developer community will never be as large as it was for the original. -- tonyptony ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tonyptony's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92754 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
