Want to get a Nook color for hack, question

[Xellos2099]

If I were to purchase the Nook from best buy store or best buy online, what is the chance I will be able to get it at 1.1 so I can start hacking it into an android tablet right away or it will be 1.2?

 

[Asaroth2010]

think any they have in stock would be 1.1
question? best buy sells nooks?
i got mine at walmart ($249+tax) and a 8gig sandisk card class4 for $20

Why does the version matter? 1.2 has been rooted and other Rom replace the current Rom.

Another question, do I need a class 4 or 6 card to root the nook?

Either one will work

Just ordered the Nook color from best buy.com. What kind of screen protector should I get with it? I am thinking about this screen protector

No screen protection needed(gorilla glass)...you're just using your finger, right?

 

[Xellos2099]

ok so no screen protector? Is the cheap case from ebay going to be fine?

 

[alphawave7]

Don't know 'bout that one, but I grabbed a cheapie from WallyWorld in the electronics/Kindle/Nook Section. Simple neoprene sleeve for around $15.

I'm still using the original box (haven't found an adamantium carrier yet).
