    It can't be done and since there are litterally hundreds of Android tablets out there, why would you want to install android on the Playbook? It would not even look right size the bezel is a little thick for swiping; it would be of no use. If you wan't an android, just purchase yourself an android tablet.

    Android OS no. Android applications yes but not all. If you are sick of PB OS you should consider to get an Android tablet.

    Contrary to what is posted above, it could be done, but it would require a FULL virtual machine, rather than the partial one existing now, and it would be running as an app within PB OS. It would also have poor performance in comparison to PB OS, seeing as two OSes would be running at the same time. It would be somewhat like running a Linux distro in VirtualBox or VMWare Player on a Windows PC. It would also be a lot of work, and it is highly unlikely anyone will do it.

    No it cant be done (without access to the boot loader among other things). The OP asked on how to get rid (i interpreted the spelling) of the QNX based OS on the Playbook. Using a VM inside of the OS wouldn't satisfy this request.

    Well I was explaining the closest possible way it could be done.

    Sell your playbook and buy a fire.

    1 month later....sell your fire and buy a Playbook again.

    Buy yourself a cheap Android tablet. PlayBook is not for cheap people like you.

    if you are sick of pb OS, consider using Windows.

    All you need is download a remote desktop app.
