It’s looking more and more likely that RIM is planning to allow Android apps on at least some of its BlackBerry-brand devices...

... never had a blackberry before... and im not sure how to feel about the rim android thing, but its a choice, and if the services and hardware is there, why not!

This would be a great selling point for the playbook and now blackberries that's for sure, it would help the android community aswell i'll bet. It could create more developer interest for the platform.
I'm curious what google thinks about this.

It's a nice deal for sure but we know these apps will run a bit slow through the VM...

No, the Android apps already all run via VMs on Android OS and they are very fast. Watch out Apple - Open always wins over Closed.

They are probably thinking $$$

That's a lot of business users that will now have access to the Android marketplace, can't see why they would have a problem with it.

honestly, who really cares about this? wooowww, if you really care this much about being able to use this crap on a different phone, go out and buy the phone.

 

[Humans think]

How does Nokia feel about that... They could have their own system and join Android ecosystem just like RIM plans to.

This really is the biggest 'who cares' story. This is a last 'me too' grab by RIM to save their struggling brand. Realistically as soon as Android offers a 'secure enough' Outlook integration it's bye bye to RIM and all their additional and expensive BES servers and cr*p. Push email is no longer a 'killer app', it's a standard feature

Good one for certain blackberry users,but not for me as I have only got a standard mobile phone at the moment...
