The Nook Color has
become quite the hot item lately. Here at TalkAndroid, we make it our goal not just to help you find the device that’s right for you, but also how to get the most out of it. We follow the development community closely so we can keep up with the newest custom apps, hacks, and tweaks. In that vein, those looking to get the most out of their Nook Color might be interested to know that the CPU speed has been
boosted yet again. XDA-Developers, being the kings of overclocking, have managed to boost the CPU speed of the Android-based e-reader-turned-Android-tablet to an impressive 1.1GHz. Developer dalingrin has developed his own kernel, and if you’ve
rooted your device and
loaded the ClockworkMod recovery tool, you can get this kernel on your own device. Simply visit the source thread, download the corresponding file, and flash through the ClockworkMod recovery. Any customization of this nature of course involves a certain amount of risk, but this process seems fairly safe. Still, proceed with caution.
If you’re feeling very confident in your abilities, this is a good time to remind you that the Nook Color, once rooted, is capable of being
hacked to run the Android market. This process is substantially more risky, but if you’re wanting to get the absolute most out of your tablet, it’s worth considering.
Myself, I’m considering picking one of these up just for the simple fact that a $250 Android tablet is a steal, and the hardware in this device is quite capable. With a few tweaks, it’s a very capable tablet. Of course, one misstep, and it’s a $250 paperweight, so weigh your options carefully
