No points for calling this one, but it looks like Android 4.0 is well on its way to the Nook Tablet – in a decidedly unofficial manner, of course. Just a few days after the tablet’s bootloader was bypassed, developer Brandon Bennet (aka Nemith) has now apparently managed to get an early version of the Android 4.0-based CyanogenMod 9 up and running on the device, although you’ll still have to wait a bit longer for something that’s actually useable. What’s more, some other developers have also managed to get the tablet to boot from a microSD card, and there’s been some progress with Ubuntu on the tablet as well. Hit the links below for all the details and the latest from the xda-developers forum.
