Hack gets MeeGo onto Nook Color

The Nook Color getting hacked isn't specifically new -- there are plenty of Nook Color hacks now, from installing different versions of Android to improving battery life or storage space. It's pretty exciting, at that time, when someone tests out a totally different OS, that as well looks quite impressive on the Barnes & Noble e-reader.

Nomovok specializes in technical details surrounding MeeGo, an open-source OS designed for smartphones. It took the guys over at Nomovok one week to get it fully functioning, but in the long run, they successfully managed to get MeeGo running on a Nook Color. One of the reasons they picked the Nook Color was due to Barnes & Noble's decision to release its source, by opening up the kernel, Bootloader, and Android Stack to developers.
