I wish my BlackBerry was a Transformer... newbie wondering if the blackberry is right for me? has anyone confirmed?

I also underestimated it. Yeah. BB10 apps are OK, but now they all are dying with powerful hardware devices It would be fair to provide some freedom for BB10 users to pick specific (or all ;) Android apps and games, even with reduced system speed.

Whatever users of BB10 have now is all they're going to get. Why am I unable to use Internet on my BlackBerry Bold? Ok, but are there any links to those experiments? Bye bye.

Using the simulator, you can use your mouse to simulate gestures, configure snapshots for debugging, and simulate features such as tilting or rotating the device.

I was initially against them putting the android emulator on their devices because I wanted everything to be "pure". BBRY knew devs were hesitant so why not make it easy for them. I still don't like the idea of it, but I don't have a z10 but for the time being it will be good for the apps that aren't there. I could only imagine to have skype running correctly we might have to wait until an OS update as well to get the newer Android compatibility running.

Sometimes you don’t really know the best games out there for Blackberry 10. Please make sure the first thing you do is install the essential software and watch our videos HERE.

After Priv and DTEKs lose support, I think they could back out of OHA and update runtime if they wanted to. BlackBerry is done with BB10 forever and for always.

android emulation was an option they experimented upon to keep customers interested.

Blackberry and TCL/BBMO are now members of the OHA, so legally they can't update the runtime in BB10. If their android app is successful running as an "emulated" app, why change it?

BBRY is updating to 4+ in the virtual machine, so lots more to come. Looks like BlackBerry has a more long term vision than I gave them credit for.

It's a JVM on top of the QNX microkernel, much like Dalvik on top of the Linux kernel.

Ok, so you are telling me that point of it is to give some options (android emulation), and then pull them off - just because that project is abandoned? When the ported apps see a lot of use on the platform, devs will eventually create them natively.
