My Nook Color runs Android 3.0 a.k.a. Honeycomb.

First off, a big thank you to everyone who sent me all those links when this exciting news broke out!

I still can't believe that I'm running a brand new generation of Android (N1 owners still waiting for "official" 2.3 Gingerbread to release). When Honeycomb was first shown at CES, I had read a lot of reports that there will be specific hardware requirements and that you couldn't just brute force run 3.0 on any device, especially not on my $250 e-reader. The UI for 3.0 is very much Tron-esque and ... shiny :D

Although this is an early release of Honeycomb, the graphics run smooth on my device. I've attached a short video showing the ripple effect of the lock screen.

Some more pictures from bootup to a few menu options including Settings and Recently Used (multi-tasking) menus.
