17 Dec 09 Hackers run Facebook, Twitter and more on Nook
Now a days, when a company releases a new device onto the market, it’s only a matter of time until the hacking community has their way with it. Barnes & Noble’s Nook is no different, in fact considering it runs on Google’s Android operating system, hackers had a whole library of software at their porting disposal.
Said hackers were able to get a web browser, a Facebook app and a Twitter app running on the nook. Couple that with device’s free 3G connection and you have yourself an able mobile computing device. Unfortunately, Engadget reports that a port of Google Maps failed due to complications with the Nook’s native version of Android, bummer.

30 Nov 09 Good luck seeing a Nook before December 7th
Of course, we all know that the Nook is sold out and a recent announcement by Barnes and Noble has stated that there will be no Nooks for sale at the stores, at least until December 7th.
Not only that, the B&N stores will not even have Nooks available for demonstration purposes at least until that same date. So unless you pre-ordered this before November 20, then you will not see this Nook before Christmas.

01 Nov 09 Creative to Launch MediaBook Color eBook Reader?
For some reason eBook readers are more and more popular these days. After the Kindle we’ve seen Sony’s reader, Barnes & Noble’s Nook and Plastic Logic’s QUE. Asus is also working on a few eReaders and it seems that Creative decided to make one of its own. Dubbed the MediaBook, Creative’s eBook reader might be based on the Zii platform and it’s said to come with some very impressive features like a color touchscreen display ready to let you read all the eBooks you want and support for videos and pictures. Although this MediaBook did get leaked there are no leaked pictures yet. And it’s way too early for pricing details and release dates so we’ll all have to wait for Creative to announce the reader until we get too excited about it.
