Nook Color App Downloads Provides Evidence Of Transformation To Tablet

According to Barnes & Noble, 1 million applications were downloaded to the Nook Color during the first week of the store’s availability. While that number of downloads pales in comparison to the 10 billion apps downloaded to iOS devices, I think it indicates good popularity for B&N’s eReader turned tablet.

Earlier this month I wrote about how the Nook Color could be the most affordable tablet available. When Barnes & Noble first sold the Nook Color it only ran eReader software, with a few addtional apps like Pandora and a web browser, but it provided no way to add apps.
