    Interesting news today as it's being reported that Microsoft may now be looking to follow in the footsteps of BlackBerry and bring Android apps to Windows Phone devices. According to the report,*Android apps would actually be available*within*the Windows Phone store directly on devices. Nothing has yet been confirmed but it could make things very interesting for Windows Phone users if it holds true.

    Full story from the Crackberry Blog...

    Ignoring the argument of "who copies who", it's great news for BlackBerry users. This means BlackBerry will be pushed to make the runtime better and Android apps more accessible than they already are.

    Imitation is the highest form of flattery... btw.

    Bad news. Thankfully, it's just a rumor.

    The last thing consumers need, IMHO, is another OS dependent on Google's app ecosystem.

    I highly doubt it will happen, but then again, if someone told me 3 or 4 years ago that BB users would be hunting apks some day, I would have laughed him/her off the forums.

    Anything is possible, and I've been wrong before.
