Yes, it is something they want. As of now, they are making an "App Player" for the PlayBook that has a new OS (QNX). Android apps only work through the "App Player" and only apps that developers decide to repackage and submit to RIM for them to work.
This is what has come out of that rumor from January : http://crackberry.com/crackberry-pol...berry-playbook

Sadly, BBM is the ONLY reason people own BB's, bandwagoners ftw.

what? I never said BB was good to begin with : I've always hated BB's they're so ugly and BBM is just a marketing ploy, imagine if apple included "iMessenger" or something stupid like it. BB would fall off the face of the earth.

other than a proper keyboard, and it does what a phone is supposed to do.

core - text, push email, calls/contacts

add ons - high MP camera, HD video recording, accelerometer, millions of apps and games etc.

BB does core best, that's why i stick with it

for a phone to be just a phone is just not enough in todays world.
im surprised people are still buying blackberries.
i have a 9700 and its the last berry i'll ever buy.
rimm was ahead of the game 5+ years ago, but since the iphone came out and moved the whole smartphone market in a new direction, not so much.

uninstalled live profile quite some time ago and was so glad to see the battery life go back to normal.
also, i use both whatsapp, and beluga. beluga for group chat with my friends back in edmonton, and whatsapp for others who i just wanna msg. both apps are pretty good imo for my uses
