While lots of people have “rooted” their Nook Colors with law firmware that allows them to access the Android Market and download applications, many Nook Color buyers have stranded with the authorized firmware that came with the device. If you’re in the latter group, you’ll be cheerful to note that you’ll shortly have access to Barnes Noble’s chronicle of an app store, that is due to launch in April, according to the HSN Web site , where the Nook is being sole for $299.90.

While the HSN site doesn’t offer a definite launch date, it does have a few good nuggets of info:

None of this comes as ample of surprise, as Barnes Noble has been display reporters apps running on the Nook Color from the day it launched. But it has taken a small longer than you considered is to firm to obviously launch an app store is to device.

It’s value observant that Barnes Noble seems to be shying divided from obviously mission the Nook app store the Nook App Store, that might be a good idea deliberation Apple only sued Amazon.com for mission its Android app store the Amazon Appstore for Android . Apple says it has copyright the tenure “App Store.”

As for HSN selling the Nook Color for $299.90, that’s $50 more than you must be outlay is to Nook Color (its list cost is $249.99). Sure, the HSN Nook Color has a few e-books preloaded on it, but they’re all public-domain titles you can bucket up yourself–for free. (HSN will reportedly beginning its “sneak peeks” of the updates someday this Saturday.)

We’ll have an in-depth look at the Nook Color refurbish once it launches in April. From the looks of it, it will add not only the Nook Store but moreover a chronicle of Android 2.2 (Froyo), that would bring the Flash encouragement referred to above. Barnes Noble CEO William Lynch has formerly settled that the Nook Color would offer Flash encouragement in 2011, even though he never committed to a more definite time frame.
