Default Are Pigs Flying? BlackBerry PlayBook and Smartphones May Run Android Apps!

"Here is the big news: we have been told RIM is very much considering the Dalvik virtual machine, and we ultimately expect the company to chose Dalvik. If that sounds familiar to you, it’s because it’s the same VM that the Android OS uses, and it would allow RIM’s PlayBook and other QNX devices to run just about any application built for the Android platform."

This sounds great to me!  I don't see any way it would hurt Android and it could save RIM.  I'm all for more competition and I love when software can work on devices it wasn't intended for.  Would this make you consider the PlayBook, Torch 2, or Storm 3?
