What is missing is a simple way to add an external keyboard and a simple text app on which to do creative work (the on screen keyboard does not work for creators – neither does anyone else’s on screen keyboard work well either.

Without ROOTing the nook what is the simple way to add an external keyboard, either bluetooth or mini USB? If there is no simple and reliable way to do this nook is crippled…… Any working ideas?

My advice to Google would be to still keep on raising the bar with the pocketable devices. We are not there yet!
The landmark many of us (meaning me ;) are waiting for is something really usable in our pockets that can be used with a data only plan.
I know Kevin that you are running along lately with the tab 7″ as that useful really mobile device. I am torn between saying 5″ is the magical size – or maybe 7″. Have seen videos of the Galaxy Reader 5″ (floating around – liked Charbax’s) and it looks amazing in size compared to the current 4″ Galaxy S and to a palm size. But its not 3G.
What we need is a device that is mobile enough (<=7") preferably mobile (7" is mobile although not in pants pockets) and is sure to run 2.3(.4) eventually.
Lately most manufacturers are zig-zagging. Dell has a 7" streak with 3G, but 2.3 is not sure to come (especially with their VERY poor track recored with Streak 5"). Samsung as stated will have soon 5" but no 3G.
Ok so where I am going here? … to the point that Google's next device needs to address that exactly. As the original Nexus has. Pave the way. Show the future. Light the … you get that right?
A 5"/7" device with wifi and 3G that we may finally use with JUST data plan! For that I am also getting back to the same points Kevin has raised before with me around Google Voice for everyone – meaning international, full connectivity between desktop and mobile, and the holy trinity of chat, voice and video.

Which is it?
