Someone on another forum said the dates on which they are sorted are the original application release dates, not the dates that they were added to the B&N store. I did not verify this, but it seems plausible. On the other hand, it would be much more useful to have them be able to be sorted by when they were added to the B&N store, so we could check back every so often and immediately see the new (to the B&N store) apps.
Good points. I started on my phone because it was the first place I thought to look, but it quickly became tedious ging abck anf forth from it to my laptop. So I started using the online app market through my laptop. I never signed in. I tried to make ther searches as accurate as possible, but I always wonder if I missed something anyway.

I can't say definitely either, but I did go through a lot of those items N/A on the A-Market, and spent some time trying to find them. I finally gave up after a while, since I kept coming up empty. Since, for reasons I don't really understand, the web Marketplace doesn't always find partial matches (?), I went so far as to do look ups by Developer, and then follow the links back to their websites, before deciding it wasn't available on Android.
I did find one or two somewhat close hits, e.g. stuff like Tipitap has:
- My First Zoo: Sights and Sounds, on the NOOKcolor
- Toddler Tapping Zoo: Pics and Sound, on the A-Market
But I had no idea if they were the same with different names, so I wrote them off. In any event, even if it's not perfect I suspect your list is quite accurate.
I did find a few available on the iDevice platform you hadn't made note of. But you weren't attempting to cover that, so I didn't consider it relevant, though I added them to my own list.

Thank you. I always appreciate corrections. Being the only one to run comparisons often causes me concern that I overlooked or missed something. It's the whole, "don't proofread your own work," thing.
With the next update, I think I'm going to repost the entire updated list in the Apps forum and start over. I've been thinking that it might help people more if I reposted the whole list every time, just noting which apps were new/changed. I havent done it until now because of how large the list is, but it might be easier for people to look at that way. If I was able to edit my posts for more than 90 minutes, I'd be able to maintain a single list. But I have to make do with what I have, so reposting the list now seems like the easiest option. Now I'm just trying to decide whether to create an entirely new dated thread every time.
MarkOB1 was kind enough to create an Excel spreadsheet and give it to me, saving me a huge amount of time. I'm going to update that and make it available for everyone as well as soon as I can. I think I'm going to start including the Amazon App Store and the iTunes App Store if I can get around to it. It's more difficult for me to search the Amazon store on my laptop because doing so brings up the rest of Amazon.com as well. I worry that searching from my phone may miss something; I'm not sure if Amazon's store is device specific. I don't have an iPhone or iPad, and i've never tried to find any apps through iTunes on my computer. I assume they're there.
