Barnes & Noble Nook Color Web Browser Demostration

Quick demonstration of the Nook Color's web browser in action.

In general, smooth browsing, fairly smooth scrolling and navigation. Fast web page loading speed provided you have a reliable internet connection.

No multi-touch pinch & zoom function. You have to press a "+/-" icon on lower right hand corner to zoom.

Does support Asian Characters/Websites.

NO Flash support what so ever.

The browser identifies itself as an "Apple Mobile Browser" for some reason.

On some websites the keyboard will act up and close itself, when you try to type anything in the input area for username or email address, which is very frustrating and currently there is not a solution for it yet.

A lot of these problems is fixed once you "root" your Nook Color to install better browser apps.

thanks for the post...helpful. do you know if the web browsing matches up to the ipad or is it an entirely different ball of wax...just the web? also, (silly question) can it run fulltilt poker??

@wigginbean The web browser works pretty good, almost full web browsing experience but with no flash support.

compared to ipad, it certainly does not have as good of a kinetic/smooth movement as the ipad (nothing else is compareable with ipad/iphone in this matter)

overall, it is very good. i have no ideal if it can run fulltilt poker or not, sorry.
