Android Apps on BlackBerry PlayBook?

Posted by | Tablets | No Comments

BlackBerry PlayBook Android Apps

A trusted source close BGR has revealed that there’s a possibility of Android Apps on BlackBerry Playbook. This sounds weird but you could actually be able to run Android Apps on PlayBook, upcoming tablet from RIM.

RIM’s PlayBook will run on QNX OS and will feature a Java Virtual Machine. It’s undecided which JVM RIM will opt for, however there are rumors that RIM is considering Dalvik virtual machine. It should be noted that Google’s Android OS also uses Dalvik. So BlackBerry PlayBook will be able to run every Android App.

Initially touted as BlackPad, PlayBook was announced in September 2010 at DevCon and a video promo of BlackBerry PlayBook was also released that hinted at a worthy iPad competitor. Let’s see if RIM’s tablet actually runs Android Apps, that would be big news in Tablets market.

The CM buildbot is back in action and cranking out CM7 builds for all of our supported devices! These builds are unsupported and only for brave testers, but feedback is appreciated on the forums. The current state of CM7 is pretty solid- you should have no problem using these as your daily driver, but always do a a backup before flashing! These are entirely automated and development is moving rapidly right now, so it’s always possible that something could be wildly broken. Our first release candidates aren’t far off.
