    I am thinking about getting a blackberry playbook but have a few questions. Is it hard to install the leaked android app player? Can you use it on the newest os version 1.08? Do most android apps work on it? What should I know about this device before buying it? Any info will help. Thank you.

    OS 1.08 does not support Android Player. The leaked Android Player is buggy at best.
    You can install OS 2.0 beta which will have Android Player but OS 2.0 Beta comes with its share of warnings.

    Unless you want to be a Beta Tester for RIM, I would suggest you buy the PB and enjoy the device on OS.108 and wait till Feb for the Official OS2 to drop.

    Also one thing you should know is that not ALL Android apps will work on the PB. The Android apps will have to be ported over to the PB and will need approval from BB App World.
