RIM is in the process of planning for a QNX-based future. The robust operating system is the basis of the upcoming Blackberry Playbook, and BGR is reporting that some decisions are coming down the pike that could allow Android apps to run on RIM's QNX devices. RIM is likely going to use a new Java virtual machine to allow legacy apps to work on QNX. Among the candidates is Dalvik, which is the VM used in Android.

I've seen lots of these kinds of products over the years that allow software from one platform to run on another. They all have on thing in common: they all suck.

I hear that brother. RIM had better put some effort into an app creation tool for developers that's as good as XCode 4 from Apple (now $5)
