    Tablets need more juice than USB can provide so its not uncommon for them to use non microUSB connectors, sometimes its DC pins sometimes proprietary. Either way your phone chargers are useless for it.

    As far as I know, there is no access to the play store and it is heavily skinned so read up on it a bit before you get one!

    Also, this - http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056835215
    It may have been resolved by now, but check it out!

    Yep, Play support came in firmware 2.1. If it's not already on the Nook when you get it you can download it from here: http://uk.nook.com/support

    Well i got it, and like it a lot. But installing cyanogenmod is not as easy as i thought. The flipping XDA-developer forum is like a zoo. Sdcards are so flipping finicky.
    And i cant even post a question on the thread as i've less than 10 post on xda-developer :mad:

    Has anyone installed cyanogenmod on these? Ive rooted 10s of phones but never had any problems like this?
