RIM restricts planned support for Android Playbook

RIM restricts planned support for Android Playbook

The Blackberry maker Research in Motion (RIM) is taking place on the
developers' conference in Romania droidcon announced, would not support
the functions of Android emulator for the tablet playbook, as reported
thinq the blog.

Therefore no work apps that access the Maps API - or allow the in-app
purchases - that show cards. The text-to-speech interface is not
implemented, as well as apps can not be programmed by NDK (Native
Development Kit), which translates C / C + + code into ARM machine code.
Also, no apps work, consisting of only app widgets, or export more than
one activity for the launcher. Finally, support for Live Wallpapers,
Cloud-to-device messaging and telephony via SIP VoIP missing.

Apps like to get on the device is still unclear. Indicate the
limitations in-app purchases and maps indicate that a Google
certification is lacking and the playbook so that it gets no market
access. So apps come from an alternative market place - they want to
integrate RIM's BlackBerry app in the World - manually or by mail or
from the computer onto the device. In July, appeared on an unofficial
pre-release version of the Android emulator, which was based on Android
2.3.3.
