I just did upgrade to 2.1.
I feel it's smooth than before, and I am to be see all Google Apps.
B&N should have done this early. It could have sold a lot of units if they
do it. Its customer base would be much bigger. Some of the customers, even
small percentage of the customers may by books from B&N if they could not
find it in Google Player.
The nice piece hardware original was limited by its software. Now it's
really a nice tablet.
When I just got the HD+, I did try CM10. Not very good experience. It always
crash and reboot to famous 99%. So, I switched to stock ROM, just use it to
browse internet.
