    The 9930 most likely will not run Android apps.

    Most indications are that the OS7 devices will not be upgradeable to QNX/BBX.

    I think you're confused with the playbook. The 9930 will not be able to run apps made for an entirely different OS. It can run similar apps made by the same company for BB.

    Why would it need android apps? The bb app world and app selection is far superior!

    Personally, I don't agree with that. That is the ONLY reason that I have looked on with envy at my Android and Iphone user buddies. The availability of apps for these platforms is vastly superior to blackberry app world.

    This is not speaking from experience however, maybe its not as good as I think it is.

    Yea, unfortunately OS7 is not QNX I did find it interesting however, that if you go into 'options', 'device', then 'about device versions', the last screen (out of 5) shows an acknowledgement to "The Android Open Source Project"
