    Anyone else concerned that BlackBerry is not listed as a member.

    I thought to get Google services you have to be an OHA member

    There is no BlackBerry device available that runs Android right now.
    I think BlackBerry will be listed as a member with the release of the Priv.

    There is no question that the Priv will have Google Play Services on it. The only 'interesting' part would be if Google allowed them to do this without being an OHA member.

    When John Chen showed off the Priv recently, he made a point of saying it was "running Google," so there doesn't appear to be much reason for concern.

    They stripped GPS and put it on the new bb10A which is going to be available for the passport se and the priv. It's bb10 with an android theme so android users will get it. I'm sorry I had too! Long live the 'hybrid' os.

    As you well know, it never was, and never will be. It's time to let go and accept the reality of a pure Android OS.

    Given that they've never released an Android phone, I don't see them not being a member as a problem. It's safe to assume that they got the permissions from Google nailed down before developing the Priv.

    That list hasn't been comprehensive for quite some time, AFAIK.
