Check the forum regarding cyanogenmod on the nookcolor. I've been running this 
on my last 3 android phones and really like the additional speed and functions 
available. I've been considering getting a tablet myself, but only once the mod 
is available and stable.

Subject: Re: [H] NookColor ==> Android 3 (HoneyComb) Tablet?

What I'm trying to do is get a couch computer....or in this case, a couchpad.

So, I got this nookcolor...if you had a microSD card to it, you can set it up 
to 
boot honeycomb off the SD card without bothering the internal 8 GB card that 
hold the NookColor version of Android. So I have them both setup now.

The only problem is the HoneyComb version is, as you noted, incomplete.  One 
problem is that I can't use the entire 16 GB SD card to store stuff.  Seems to 
only allow 1.25GB of storage space for apps, data, and stuff. Also, it doesn't 
play video well at all.  But with only 1.26 GB of storage, you can't do much 
else without having to worry about space.

But I do like the browser on this thing.  Better than the one on the NookColor 
by far. I could probably do most of what I want on the regular Nook, though, 
but 
you get zero apps (well, you get an handful). But no Angry Birds, Maps, and a 
few other goodies for Android.  Nook gives you only a tiny handful of good 
apps.  With HoneyComb, I can get Kindle stuff and Nook, DropBox, PDF, TIVO and 
Google TV, etc.  Angry Birds looks good on the Nook, too.  The 6inch wide 
screen 
(in landscape) is easy to read on the nook if you set fonts and things 
correctly.

There is no easy way to switch back & forth from NookColor to HoneyComb, 
though, 
sayou have to remove the SD card from the NookColor to boot back into NookColor.

If Honeycomb were more complete and if the hack were more fully worked, I'd 
make 
the switch and install Honeycomb on the Internal SD, but no way am I doing that 
now.
