Fresh out of BlackBerry World in Orlando, we're getting our first look at how Android applications will run on the BlackBerry PlayBook. Above is the IMDB app. Apps themselves run as native Android binaries, meaning things mostly work right out of the box, with minimal porting.
The way it works is apps will open within the Player app, just like an emulator. And if the Player app isn't open when you tap an app on the home screen, it'll open itself. Some 18 apps were on board for today's demo, and PlayBook gestures have been mapped into the Android apps. There's no special option button, but a swipe down has been mapped to it.
We'll pump our CrackBerry brethren for more info soon. But for now we've got one more pic after the break.
