Video Daily: BlackBerry PlayBook running Android apps

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 06 May 2011 10:15 User comments (5)

One of RIM's most-anticipated features for their PlayBook tablet is its ability to tap into the 250,000 app-strong Android Market.

This week, the company has demoed the feature and says it will be pushed to users in the summer.

The apps appear to run very well on the tablet, with the company showing off a few music apps, and IMDB.

Unfortunately, RIM does not show off any apps that would tax the graphics portion of the hardware.

Because there are no buttons on the PlayBook, the home/back/search/menu buttons have been mapped as gestures.

It is too big; it breaks the rules of the forum.

If someone wants to make up a logo that says, "It only does..." and then a list of everything that it should do, with each item crossed out, I might switch to that.

Oh, and the bottom line should look hand-written; it should say "Identity theft and credit card fraud"...that line wouldn't be crossed off.

	Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
