It has been reported that mobile application developer Shapsavvy has reported that their Android applications have been actually tested on many Blackberry units. There was a report from BGR last month that RIM, the makers of Blackberry are working on a solution that would allow Android Applications to run on its Blackberry Playbook tablet. It does seem now that RIM maybe doing more extensive testing what the Android applications and may even go beyond the Playbook tablet. Shapsavvy’s analytical states the following devices accessed its servers while running the Shosavvy app for Android. The phones that have been tested are as follows
The Blackberry 8300
The Blackberry 8600
The Blackberry 8520
There is still no answer on why these old devices would be used for testing. It does seem like things will become more clearer in the following months.
