Barnes & Noble is preparing to launch a a selection of NOOKcolor-specific apps, and has opened up their developer portal to those wishing to submit applications for the Android-based e-reader. NOOKcolor apps will come in both free and paid flavors and users will also have access to free trials before buying. Unlike Google, BN will be screening apps and denying those it does not feel fit.
NOOK-specific apps were first touted with the launch of the NOOKcolor, but it seems they have been pushed back as we await a major software upgrade that should enhance the tablet-factor of the e-reader.
