Sick of Tablet, OS and Apps news? Sorry to say, there's more.
RIM announced yesterday that they would open the PlayBook "ecosystem" to include Android applications.
The PlayBook will support BlackBerry Java and Android Applications, native C/C++ development support will be added, in addition to HTML5, Flash and AIR support and incorporates support from leading game engines, Ideaworks Labs (AirPlay) and Unity Technologies (Unity 3), according to a release from the company.
What does this mean for developers? It means, if you're an Android developer you can now submit applications to the PlayBook app world, by joining their developer program -- which is currently free and has it's own host of requirements as will be explained in the App Store story in the April issue.
Additionally, in the world of Tablets, Google has announced that they will not release the source code for Honeycomb to developers. We reported on the release of the SDK, but as Reuters reported yesterday, Google has decided to retain the source code for the time being to work out the kinks.
Do you have a tablet, if so what do you think of the Honeycomb OS? Does RIM's efforts to offer Android apps to PlayBook customers alter your plans for buying one? Do you think Google's move makes them less open? Share your thoughts here.
