A few days back I got hold of playbook. I had heard it can run android apps natively. I wanted to taste the best of both worlds ie blackberry os and android os.

After geting my playbook, as soon as I switched it on and connected to WiFi, it offered and update and I just accepted it and installed the update.

Now, I want to know what options I have to side load android apps?

You just named one of them: Side loading.

The other is hurting them down in AppWorld.

To sideload, I'd look for HaTaX's PlayBook Tools.

Do we essentially have to be on 2.0 to sideload apps?

I am currently on 2.0.1.358.

Do I have to downgrade?

No sideloading works on 2.0 and up, no need to downgrade

Got my Playbook this morning. Updated to the latest FW, Side loaded a few apps within 10 minutes (After setting everything up).

So happy with my Playbook right now
