Anrdroid Smartphone User meets BlackBerry Playbook
So in light of all the buzz about the leaked Android App Player, I have a question to pose...
Will there be any "bridge type" functions for an Android smartphone user with the BlackBerry Playbook? For example; bridging your Playbook to your Android smartphone to access your phone's calendar, notes, internet browser, email, etc. Will there be any benefits to owning an Android phone and Playbook, or will they still remain mutually exclusive?
I currently have a Playbook (and LOVE it), but I'm just a little confused as to what exactly the App player will be used for, other than just running apps. Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, I'd just like to get some clarification.

As of now, with the early, early beta leak, the Android Marketplace is not working after being sideloaded. Will that change once the official Android Player is released? We'll see....
iPhone 4S - 5.0.1
BlackBerry Torch 9800 - 6.0.0.600
BlackBerry Curve 8900 - 5.0.0.461
BlackBerry PlayBook - 1.0.8.6067 - 07-21-2011, 07:48 PM #5 has it ever been done before? loading other OS's application ? how about "security"? Originally Posted by soccernamlak Officially, no.
