Books and Arts company, Barnes & Noble, set to roll out a software update in April

In the world of technology, updates are a constant and exciting part of the journey. One such device that has been making waves is the Barnes & Noble Nook Color e-reader. However, there seems to be some confusion regarding a potential software update that would add Flash support to the device.

Contributor to our website, Sovan Mandal, provides insights on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. His articles cover a wide range of topics, from smartphones and tablet devices to AI and self-driven automobiles. His latest interest, unsurprisingly, is self-driven automobiles.

Currently, all Nook Colors run on Android 2.1 Eclair. If a software update does include Flash support, the devices may be upgraded to run Android 2.2 Froyo. However, Barnes & Noble has not confirmed any such update as of yet.

Their official product pages do not mention any Flash support updates or software updates related to Flash for the Nook Color or similar e-readers. The descriptions focus on hardware specs, reading features, screen technology, and battery life, without reference to Flash functionality or software updates enabling it.

Contrary to this, Home Shopping Network is selling the Nook Color for $299, $50 more than Barnes & Noble's price. They have reported that an update for the Nook Color is expected next month, which would reportedly include Flash support. The source of this information is androidforums.

The Nook Color package comes with a free SD Card pre-loaded with 100 e-books.
