So now "BlackBerry tablet apps" will be based on (I might have gotten a few of these wrong) Flash/Air, HTML, old BlackBerry OS, new BlackBerry OS, and [non-tablet] Android? And maybe Java? Interesting to see someone take the exact opposite route from Apple, who's obsessed with "owning" the app/development environment for their systems.

Sure, technically they've solved the problem of not having any apps... but I bet they've just shifted the problem to not having any good apps. That might be an even worse problem to have.

Sounds like a test/security nightmare, too. What happens when a BB game plays fine until the (very popular) Android tool in the background messes it all up?
