This is great news for people who like testing new software and tinkering around without actually altering (and potentially damaging) their hard earned gear. XDA-Developers member deeper-blue has made public his project that patches together the Honeycomb SDK emulator images, parts of CyanogenMod, and other little bits, allowing Android 3.0 to run on a NOOKcolor. Best of all, the 4GB image runs from an SD card; no need to modify your NOOKcolor. Not even root is required!

The hack sounds to be surprisingly workable (though sounds and DSP are a no-go at this point). Head on over to the xda-developer’s thread for more information.
