PlayBook Now Has New Android Applications

Research in Motions, the manufacturer of BlackBerry, has now declared that its new product, the new PlayBook will be released very soon. This is its appropriate response to the demand of those who are addicted to tablets with the latest technology. A wide array of applications that are designed in Java and especially for Android 2.3 will be running on this tablet.

Most of the application developers and users now want the applications designed through Android because it is an open source and the cost of developing an application in Android is quite low in comparison to other languages used. The Android is being supported by a large community of followers. Considering the immense popularity of the Android 2.3, RIM has added it to the options for applications. The application options for Android 2.3 can be downloaded easily on the operating system of the BlackBerry Tablet. This offers a great versatility to the tablet. This assures the success of the table even before it is launched or released in the market.

RIM has designed and developed the PlayBook tablet to meet the expectations of those tech savvy people that expect the tablet to be highly compatible. Before the official announcement there was speculation and there was an element of doubt that the table would allow the Android application. After the official announcement it is now clear that the PlayBook has been designed to allow the Android applications.

It should be now accepted that the tablet that is compatible with and allows the maximum number of applications is going to be the most successful tablet. If applications for any particular table have to be especially developed, it is going to take some time and highly skilled technocrats may be needed to design and develop those applications. In this age of smart phones and tablets the applications are a means of adding features to the device. If the number of compatible applications is more, the capability and usability of the device is also more. RIM has been quick to realize this trend. RIM also knows that the number of Android applications is quite high. It it (RIM) allows the PlayBook users to run the Android applications the usability of the PlayBook is going to increase manifold. When the usability of any device is high it is sure that is going to be successful in the market.

Android is an open source platform and using the Android applications to enhance the features of PlayBook is an intelligent strategy. RIM knows how popular the Android applications are and also knows how to capitalize on this popularity RIM also knew that if the PlayBook tablet does not allow the running of Android applications it would take a long time to popularize the PlayBook.

It can be said that RIM has found a new and short way to make the PlayBook popular.

PlayBook and Android Applications

PlayBook is going to be launched by Research in Motion the manufacturers of BlackBerry, while Android is designed by a group lead by Google. Google has taken special interest in the development and marketing of Android just because it wants to extend its supremacy as a search engine in the world of smart phones too.

The more the number of applications, more is the popularity of that smart phone device. There is a vast difference between the number of BlackBerry applications and Android application. Android Apps number is over 1,30,000 while that of BlackBerry stands at nearly 20,000. The Android has a big community following and support. The number of Android apps is quite high just because it is an open source platform. The cost of developing an Android application is quite reasonable and the rate of return is quite assured. This difference can have a very big impact on the buying behavior of any prospective smart phone user.

One of the business management strategies is if you cannot go against, go with. This is what the RIM is going to most probably try. RIM knows that the best way to survive in the smart phone market is through designing such an operating system and platform that runs the Android apps too. If RIM is successful in making the Android applications run on the PlayBook, the PlayBook will not only have the features of BlackBerry but also compatible to run the Android applications. In this situation the user of Play Book will be facilitated with around 1,50,000 applications. This could give the PlayBook the much awaited boost and stay ahead of the other smart phone manufacturers.

If RIM is able to make the Android applications run on the PlayBook, it can leave the iPhone far back in terms of popularity and number of applications available. The market scenario could change drastically. Earlier there were three major competitors in the field of smart phones; namely RMI (manufacturers of Blackberry), Apple Inc. (manufacturers of iPhone, iPod and iPad) and Android. After the introduction of PlayBook that is able to run the Android applications, the iPhone is sure to phase the biggest challenge of surviving in the market.

This is just hypothetical situation. If Apple Inc. also decides to allow the running of Android applications on its iPhone device, the Google is going to emerge as the biggest winner in the smart phone market.

The smart phones developers will now have to keep a close watch on not only the technical development but also the business strategies being adopted by the different manufacturers. It is going to struggle for existence and survival of the fittest but finally it is going to be the smart phone user who is going to be facilitated the most.
