Recently two very different OS platforms have been gifted support for Android software. On the MeeGo device it's done through third-party software but it looks like RIM is actually adding the capability themselves to their BlackBerry PlayBook. This is pretty amazing and certainly changes the stakes a bit. No longer do new OS platforms have to do all the work instead they can just build-in a compatibility layer. The example running on an Nokia N900 is especially relevant given all the ruckus lately with Nokia switching to Windows Mobile. This also may be of interest to companies looking for a way around all the corporate lawsuits regarding the Android platform.

- Nokia N900 (MeeGo)
