RIM: No Android Apps or Flash for BlackBerry 7

Share This Post

It looks like BlackBerry users will have to wait for the new QNX operating system, and new phones, to enjoy some of the flagship features from the BlackBerry Playbook on their phones.

Phones running BlackBerry OS 7, such as the new BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930, will not get Android apps, even though RIM is developing an Android virtual machine for the PlayBook and Android’s Dalvik VM is relatively similar to RIM’s Java system, a RIM executive said at BlackBerry World today.

Flash is also off the table, RIM execs said, adding that they’re focusing on the new QNX OS to support Adobe Flash in the Web browser—even though the new BlackBerry Bold 9900’s 1.2-Ghz processor fulfills Adobe’s hardware requirements for Flash.
