New evidence of Android apps running on BlackBerry phones emerges

  If this means what I think it means, I'll be more than happy to buy a new Blackberry!

  If this is true, then the Android app structure is potentially becoming a defacto standard. Not sure if I believe it, but it would be cool.

  That would be very clever of RIM and they have enough Java roots to feel right at home with Android. How well it integrates with the system is another story though. If Android becomes a mobile app standard that J2ME could only dream of - that would be a really good achievement.

    You know, I was just thinking that I'm colored very unimpressed by this and that it reeked of a desperation move, and then your comment completely flipped me around. Great perspective!

  If this is true then what value add does RIM bring to the tablet world? Why not just get a pure Android tablet instead? If I was going to buy a tablet because it could run Android apps then I'd much rather buy an Android device directly and avoid any potential and inevitable compatibility issues.

    If people see you're using a BlackBerry then they'll think you're in the upper class. It's like wearing a good suit.

      Either that, or you're still in school. (Not kidding, BB is very popular with teens, at least here in the Netherlands.)
