Wow! I’ve heard that you can actually make your own food in a ‘kitchen’!!! Someone warn all these restaurant dining and takeout/delivery ordering noobs that they are getting ripped off!!! Quickly!!!

No, it’s not worth ME paying someone else to do it; I’ve rooted several Android devices and installed custom ROMs well over a hundred times. But some of those new to smartphones and/or Android wouldn’t even click the link you provided, or if they did, would immediately get intimidated by the instruction terms of “flash”, “extract”, and “format”. Is it a simple process? Yup, to you and to me it is. But not to everyone. On your second point, I think the excellent devs that share their knowledge at XDA should see some income from their work, yes.

You tell me if this is worth paying someone else to do it. It’s absurd in my opinion. That engadget would promote this “service” rather than the free source is absurd and insulting to the developers who are actually doing the work for free.

I like this idea. I think it’s best to go cheap now and wait to buy a high end tablet until they work out all the bugs and develop more features and functionality.

Yes, it’s quite an easy process and I’m sure that nearly anyone can be walked through it. But that doesn’t mean they *want* to do it, or even start down the path. What could be easier than inserting a memory card? Put another way: I find changing the oil in a car very easy to do as well and yet millions have it done for them. ;)

Fail, you can do this EASILY for free, I’ve walked countless noobs through the process and they were surprised about how easy it is.

nope CM7 is Gingerbread 2.3 and honeycomb cannot be ported because Google are being A$$e$ and not releasing the source code. I would prefer CM7 to honeycomb any day. Honeycomb is a half baked crappy OS.

I’ve been running my Nook Color on honeycomb for a while now via the SD card (dual boot as well); works pretty dang well. The best part to me is the warranty is still in-tack as without the SD card, its a normal, non-modified Nook. Best of both worlds – great reader for my kids who love the read-to-me books, and a full android tablet for me.

This option is great for people that don’t want to go through the trial and error of getting their own SD card setup and working.

This is terrific. More power to Nook and it’s market share over the iPad!
