I am not sure about phone as such because there is no official announcement available about it but around 2 weeks back balckberry official announced that users will be able to use android apps and games on Blackberry Playbook.
A Blackberry Playbook can be rooted and Google Tablet Operating System put on side by side or as a total replacement to the blackberry os. Hardware features of 'google tablets' have a wide range, where as there are only two playbooks available. so measure any google tablets vs. the specs of a playbook. Using a playbook 'factory/out of the box' would limit you to 'blackberry app worlds', some android to blackberry apps, and blackberry os which is slowly evolving out of the market. A playbook hardware is a fine device, so running Android OS is not a bad situation to be in, even better would be an HP Touchpad running Android/Google OS
Android is the best because it has the most apps and the best.
At this time, there are approximately 60,000 apps available for blackberry users. Those apps can be downloaded at Blackberry App World.
Even though the Blackberry and Android are both smart phones, one major difference between Blackberry and Android is, an Android system is touch screen enabled. A Blackberry phone is not. So, no, a Blackberry can not do everything an Android phone can.
Apple, Blackberry, and Android all have their own apps stores. "App store" is associated with Apple, "App world" is associated with Blackberry, and "Play store" is associated with Android.
No. BlackBerry Smartphones do not run android, they run RIM's OS system. The most current one is Blackberry6 OS that is now running on the Blackberry Style, Torch, and Storm 2. Android operating system is currently owned by google and the company will not sell their system to RIM. RIM wants it's last tablet the PlayBook to be compatible with Android OS Apps so it's developing compatibility for that products and some phones to come.
There are both free and paid apps available for android phones.
There is no exact figure available on Internet to know the exact number of android apps but according a professional estimate there are 3,75000 apps available on android market. In August it is expected that android market will be having more than 4,00000 apps.
Android because it becoms more and more popular, therefore you have a variaty of apps abd games to choose from!
There are many free apps available to the modern Blackberry phones. The Blackberry World app store has the most up to date listings, and includes free apps such as Photo Studio, Facebook and Battery Booster.
