A Blackberry running android would be fantastic. It would also mean that RIM would have to release all security and encryption methods and algorythms into public knowledge. This would decimate RIM from a security standpoint. If I recall there have been numerous lawsuits involving RIM’s decision not to release information regarding their proprietary technologies. People trust blackberrys because the are secure devices. Secure and opensource can rarely coexist. Im not saying that they cant, Im just saying that its not a very wise decision. But, we are all afforded the privalage of opinions.

I would purchase an android BB the day it came out…..Open source is powerful, and look at how fast the android app world is expanding, it is already the number two app store by applications, and i would bet that one day they overtake the i phone appstore. If rimm does go down that path, it kind of opens up the game to all cell phone manufacturers, because the only thing that will matter is what OS you are running, …if they do it, they better do it quick while it is still cool to have a blackberry. This status will be eroded without the move to android, because the blackberry OS as it is today is like windows 95 compared to android, which is like windows 7.

[...] by Robb Dunewood on May 28, 2009 · 0 comments I just read an interesting post over on ZDNet how a Google Android powered BlackBerry would be the ‘Perfect Storm‘, pun intended. I’ve actually thought for a while that RIM should create a device that runs Android. [...]

isn’t the real answer…

wait for someone to port this completely OPEN OS to the blackberry hardware?

I am all for blackberries but would love a chance to ticker with the Android OS on my ‘reliable’ hardware that i have next to my computer.

I’m all for giving change a chance.

looks like we’ll all be waiting to see how this unfolds.

Both RIM and Google offer products and services I love, but I won’t jump on any Android for Blackberry bandwagon until we see how the OS works in the real world. Once the bugs are out, it may be a good idea.

Does any one read techrepublic.com or techcrunch.com ? I personally do not care for any google product or byproduct. I do not use it nor do I have it as my homepage as other coworkers . Take a look around google is everywhere, fighting ebay anonymously in Australia, fighting carriers and backing up peoples search data on mobile phones to triangulate positions without consent of user, carrier, and bypassing any regulations concerning this. So why on earth would I hand over my info by using their software? THINK!
