What is it with this platform that brings out the batshit crazy?

However, there is one trick… you may notice that if you go to the “apps” menu on the Nook color, you won’t see any of your applications deployed via USB. Don’t fret… they actually are on your device. There is just a trick to view them. From the “apps” menu, click on the “archived” button. A popup will be displayed here. Now, press and hold the “volume up” button. When the speaker appears on the screen (continue holding the volume button), tap on the speaker. When you tap on the speaker, the “extras” screen is displayed. (You can release the volume button now.) The “extras” screen will list all of your manually installed applications, and you will be able to re-launch your installed apps.

... Wat??

Independently confirmed via another Android developer, by the way. I'm in hell.
