One of the first things that happens after a new platform emulator breaks loose is that a bunch of hackers far smarter than ourselves get hold of it, tear it apart, and port it to whatever's convenient. In the case of this week's Android 3.0
Honeycomb preview, "whatever's convenient" would be the
Nook Color, which reigns as perhaps the cheapest decent-quality Android tablet money can currently buy. Naturally,
xda-developers has a thread going on the subject as we speak; the current port is said to be really slow and mostly broken -- but then again, that kind of describes the current state of the emulator itself. Good news is that the developer says he plans on working on graphics acceleration to improve performance over the weekend, so with any luck, the
Xoom might have some unofficial competition before too long. Follow the break for another shot.
