We'd heard sweet, sweet rumors that RIM would include a Java virtual machine in the BlackBerry PlayBook and even
bring Android apps on board -- and lo and behold, Bloomberg's corroborating those claims with no fewer than three anonymous sources. Where the new rumor diverges is that the Dalvik virtual machine used in Google's OS reportedly won't be part of the formula; RIM considered it, these sources say, but decided it didn't want to get involved in the
Oracle / Google legal fracas. Apparently, the company's working on this secret project in-house and targeting a possible release in the second half of the year. We have to say, the ready availability of
roughly 200,000 Android programs could be quite the shot in the arm if
WebWorks and
AIR don't produce killer apps right away.
