There is loads of excitement in the market for the launch of RIM’s tablet BlackBerry® Playbook. The same state is felt among Android developers as they can effortlessly convert most of the Android apps to be used as BlackBerry apps and release them on BlackBerry APP World™. Business communities that have already launched apps for Android OS can easily bring their services across BlackBerry platform too. Let’s look on the process for BlackBerry development acquired from Android. This process also helps in speeding-up the process of approval.

-Check and cross-check whether you have removed the word "Android" from your application. Remove this from the entire programming of application and the application itself.

-While converting Android app to BlackBerry development, redirect all the links to BlackBerry App World™.

-Choose Android apps compatible with OS of 2.0 for BlackBerry development

-Forget not to make sure your app is signed.

The OS 2.0 running in BlackBerry® PlayBook™ provides suitable runtime for Android apps, and it is really good news for developers to repackage their Android app for BlackBerry® PlayBook™. This helps developers to attain cross platform application development skills too. RIM is also going to launch BlackBerry® 10 later this year and same development will help developer to easily provide good apps for new Blackberry devices.

There is also good news for tech savvy BlackBerry users as they can also install Android Market and other applications in BlackBerry Playbook. All they need to do is – root the device. If you little bit understand technologies, you can easily root your BlackBerry® Playbook and get the Android Market and other Android apps running on your device. I will explain the process of rooting in different article.

Neither Google nor RIM has any contract with Android developers to promote Android applications on RIM’s BlackBerry APP World™. It is completely up to Android developers and the business communities that what application they want to bring on BlackBerry® Playbook but one thing is sure – market is going to get truly new dimension for smartphone applications.

Of course, the process of developing such BlackBerry applications which are already available for Android OS is fairly easy but it is somewhat technical as well. It requires expert association of both Android and BlackBerry developers to work on application and convert and "package" the app for BlackBerry App World.

RIM is also providing best possible support and handy options for developers to convert APK file (The file format used to distribute and install application software onto the Google's Android OS) to BAR file types (The file format used to distribute and install application software onto RIM’s Android OS) that are compatible with BlackBerry App world.
