I had something automatically download yesterday. I thought it was the update (I don't know what else would do that). Whatever it was, it messed up my rooted stock NC and I had to do a reset to factory values. I'm leaving it unrooted, just in case.

The people who purchased their NCs from HSN were supposed to get the update first. I assume B&N keeps track of MAC IDs or some other electronic number and sent devices with a specific range of numbers to HSN.

My guess is that the update is nearly live and B&N is testing the update procedure on their servers. They probably screwed up the filters and it caused roberto's device to see the update. I suspect that the HSN devices will begin updating within a couple days (perhaps this weekend), and then all other devices will follow a few days to a week later. Granted, this is pure speculation on my part.

Correct, according to this link, the HSN customers will get the update first.

My 2 cents is your don't want to be first unless there is something in 2.2 you really need (Flash maybe?). I am going to wait to upgrade until a rooting procedure for the new version is available.

Exactly my thoughts. whatever that update might bring, we have much better stuff already with CM7 and Nookie Froyo.

Except we can't read Nook Magazines on CM7 and Nookie Froyo. Seems that only the stock Nook firmware+nooter works.
