More Nook Color information available via the Nook Color Portal
List of apps known to have worked when installed via ADB or other ways into the NookColor.

Note: The default NookColor browser seems to report its user agent as Safari on Mac OS X. This will break some sites that attempt to detect Android-ness, including AppBrain. There are reports of Dolphin not working with the AppBrain application install either. Your mileage may vary.
