Hack Attack: Angry Birds Running on a Nook Touch
Posted in: Android, barnes noble, e-readers, Hacks, Mods and DIY, Today's ChiliNook Touch Rooting. These three words are more suggestive of dubious sexual practices than hardware hacking. Add in two more words — Angry Birds — and things get a lot more exciting.
YouTuber and Android hacker JFreke has rooted (the Android version of jailbreaking) Barnes & Noble’s new touchscreen e-reader and installed Angry Birds. It is almost impossible to play, thanks to limits of processing power and the slow-updating e-ink screen, but it is amazing nonetheless. Check out the video:
Most surprising is that the touchscreen is actually sensitive enough to allow a controlled bird launch. The display stutters into confusion for a few seconds, but when things slow down again, we see that the angry bird has toppled at least one evil green piggy.
Practical? No. Impressive? Sure — it’s Angry Birds on a frikkin’ e-reader!
