ShopSavvy , Maker of the fantastic barcode reader / shopping assistant app , noticed something , well , particular in their logs . It shows that the great unwashed in Waterloo , Ontario ( where RIM is based ) using the Android ShopSavvy app on Blackberry phones . The gadget track are :
• BlackBerry 8300 ran ShopSavvy on January 31 , 2011
• BlackBerry 8600 ran ShopSavvy on January 17 and 24 , 2011
• BlackBerry 8520 ran ShopSavvy on February 7 , 2011
This Android app track that leads back to RIM in reality corroboratesa former report of the BlackBerry PlayBook being able-bodied to be given Android apps . Or maybe it ’s nothing , those gimmick are just variations of the Curve , not a PlayBook . Nevertheless , if true , it ’s very interesting to see RIM usingAndroid appsto their advantage is a pretty smart move but it ’s unclear how Google will oppose ( they do have strict Android Market rules ) .
