Subject: I kinda sorta want a tablet a lot

I know it's probably too early to buy a tablet, and the trend seems to be towards $400+ devices, but I'm sick of having to use my bulky laptop for light web browsing and reading. Since there's no way in hell I'm going to waste that kind of cash for something of such limited use, that only leaves me with a few other options - chinese android tablets no being one of them. Right now, the most promising device looks to be the Nook Color. It's got a great capacitive touch screen (10" would be nice, but whatev), decent specs and is really light weight. It got rooted like a week after it came out, so future mods look really promising, not to mention that B&N is looking like they will be supporting it for a while upgrading it with newer android releases and marketplace support. For ~$250, the price is quite reasonable, and I see it withstanding the test of time a bit better than some of the other color e-readers.
