After two days, attendees to the Blackberry World 2011 in Orlando did not knew who try to draw the big question of the event: what about compatibility with Android in the Blackberry Playbook applications? All perpetrators of RIM esquivaban the issue as if it had something contagious and it has finally been himself CEO of the company, Mike Lazaridis, who has settled the question with a 'Yes, want'.

They have not transcended many data about the nature and conditions of the agreement which will enable the Tablet from RIM install Google applications. Yes, there will be Android applications in the Playbook, but they will not be all or much less. RIM will be in charge of selecting which creates more convenient, we assume that in function of their popularity or own deficiencies of the Playbook on specific services.

During the keynote of Lazaridis, two technicians rim showed us a Playbook with a lot of android applications installed and running. The technical basis has been no problem. The QNX operating system does not have a reputation for being ultraversátil and ultraconfigurable for no reason.

The only problem was the lack of buttons beyond the touch screen. RIM has solved this problem by creating a virtual screen menu and buttons for applications that need. Android applications you can download as if this something else from the same store of applications of the Playbook, the app world. Or there are specific dates. In any case, the news is excellent and will probably be the reason that they lacked many users to decide for the Tablet from RIM.
