why did BN limit apps to homegrown toys

I have the NC since last father's day - and run it with the N2A SD Card for full Android.

I take it everywhere - for the email, the browser, the financial apps to keep up and the Pulse app for news.

 

The only time I reboot back to Nook mode is to read some of the special magazines requiring the firmware and won't read with the Nook for Android app....

 

SO - what mind blowing reason could BN marketing have come up with to NOT use most of the Android apps and basically have some homegrown apps created for the tiny Nook prison of apps ?

 

It must be the same group of people that decided to remove these "discussion groups" from being easily found from the various Nook product and support pages.....  Since they did that - I've not been here for months.... 

 

It's just a real head banger - great device and they just keep saddling it with stupid decisions.

Re: why did BN limit apps to homegrown toys

While we are in a curious mood, why did you post the same basic post on the same basic complaint one after the other under three different headlines and three different hooks?

 

Obviously BN is not "limiting" its app store to homegrown toys, or else the Netflix app and the android suite of tools to edit Microsoft Office files would not be in the app store ~ though of course in setting up a walled garden app store approach, they are limited to the app developers that choose to submit apps for their app store.
