BlackBerry Has Run Android Application

Rumors that the tablets made by RIM, BlackBerry Playbook is likely to  be able  to run  Android  applications  is not  new news anymore. But the unimaginable  pernakah  BlackBerry phone running  Android  applications, would be surprised that  most BlackBerry phones  do not  support  touch screen.

Although hard to believe, but ShopSavvy application has proven clearly that this really happened. In his blog, ShopSavvy have shown at least three are found to have a BlackBerry phone running Android application:

     * BlackBerry 8300 running ShopSavvy on January 31, 2011
     * BlackBerry 8600 ShopSavvy run on 17 and January 24, 2011
     * BlackBerry 8520 running ShopSavvy on February 7, 2011

There is one name that is quite strange BlackBerry, the BlackBerry 8600 seems almost unheard of BlackBerry Curve 9300 but its history was initially planned for 8600 but the change was coded when the phone hits the market.

So the conclusion is the possibility of RIM is trying to run Android applications running on the BlackBerry platform and BlackBerry models they use the old (pre-release) for the test. Or there may be another reason because there are fraudulent people who mess up the browser identification string, making it appear they are using the BlackBerry phone?
