As I predicted before, PlayBook may have an Android Player or it will be able to run some modified Android Apps but it will not definitely surpass or even match tablets running on Android OS... we have to lower our expectation on that one...

No offence Joshua, but I'll wait and see the final release before going for any forecasting...
are the Gameloft HD games for Galaxy Tab 7 (same resolution as PB) working on this player?
OK, I did all this and it installed no problem. When I press the icon once it loads the black screen with the BlackBerry icon in the middle of it and sits there for 20 seconds or so visually doing nothing, then returns to the "desktop" of the Playbook - any ideas? Tried restarting and launching but to no avail :( Just to clarify, I don't need to be on OS2 for this to work, right?
Thanks a lot, I installed email and a Simple Browser, then went on to install "local bar" which is a .bar installer for your PlayBook. So, then just use LocalBar on the PB to install .bar files downloaded to the Playbook. I've stuck a copy in my Dropbox. Link is here:-

Just an FYI to Mac users on OSX 10.5 with a Core 2 Duo processor.. You may have issues side porting due to an error to do with an invalid version number in the .class file.. this is because you're on the wrong Java version..
Go to Applications>Utilities>Java and move the java version 1.6 (64 bit) to the top of the list.
Also - the code needed is
[code] java -Xmx512M -jar "lib/BarDeploy.jar" -installApp -device THEDEVICEIPHERE -password THEDEVICEPASSWORDHERE your_app_here.bar
the lib/ part before bardeploy is important.
the terminal keeps saying "Unable to access jarfile BarDeploy.jar" what should i do i typed everything right i have my playbook_tools on my desktop and in the terminal i put "cd Desktop"
Not sure what you're trying to do getting this dead thread back up.
If your PlayBook is running OS 2.0 or beta 2.1, then you already have the Android App Player. Nothing to do there. To sideload apps, download BBHTools or HaTaX's PlayBook Tools.
Try not to necro, make plenty of use or search and welcome to the forums.
If you have ES file explorer installed (android side-laod) this is already available to you without the need to install this side player bar.
