QNX-based BlackBerrys will run Android apps

article published on 24 August, 2011

According to BusinessWeek, Android apps are headed to BlackBerrys, soon. QNX-based Blackberrys, set for launch in early 2012, will have the ability to run Android apps, allegedly almost as well as they would run on Android devices.

I, as an Android developer, won't believe this until I see it.

This is all getting really annoying...they advertised their tablet as having Android support before launch and a lot of people bought it thinking that it would have Android support. Now it looks like it will be another year at least...and their crummy smartphone lineup will just flounder.

I don't understand why they continue to announce that these new devices will have support for the android market when their first announcement has yet to be since. Blackberry does seem to know what they are doing, all their doing is release new device after device and they aren't even upgradeable for some reason when the difference for one device to the newer one is just more on board storage.

Late to the party. I have been a a BB user for quite some time now. BB used to be the standard, but now it seems to be an after thought.
