A tremendous step made by RIM. According to several reliable sources, as quoted by website BGR, the BlackBerry smartphone is rumored that the vendors that can be planted was exploring the possibility of Android applications on BlackBerry devices.

And, then RIM also publicly stated that it saw the possibility that the Java Virtual Machine capable of running on Playbook, tablet PCs garapannya. However, for some reason, the RIM had not yet decided to adopt the Java VM in its product.

Now, according to these sources, RIM divert sorotannya to Dalvik Virtual Machine, which estimated the Canadian manufacturer will adopt Dalvik later on the device that will dibesutnya. Interestingly, Dalvik virtual machine is also used on the Android operating system.

As a result, if RIM will be adopted Dalvik Virtual Machine then certainly on the creation tools such as Playbook and other QNX-based devices will be able to run all the applications developed for the Android platform.

So, at least two scenarios if this plan would be taken RIM. First, RIM Dalvik VM using open source without involving Google. While the second, RIM to establish an agreement with Google. Well, if it turns out the second scenario is taken, it is not impossible that RIM is not simply the product will be able to run applications based on Android, but it can also display distinctive features such as Android Market Andoid, Gmail, Google Maps and other Google applications.
