Blackberry Playbook este singura tableta produsa de catre compania RIM, ea putand rula aplicatii compatibile cu sistemul de operare BlackBerry. Hackerul care a dezvoltat intreaga procedura a putut rula atat aplicatii pentru iPad cat si aplicatii pentru iPhone pe ecranul de 7 inch al tabletei, totul fiind facut cu ajutorul unui sistem special. Aplicatiile ruleaza destul de bine, nu apar erori in ceea ce priveste functionalitatea, insa totul este dificil de utilizat si nu este recomandat utilizatorilor obisnuiti.
The CPU isn’t emulated on Playbook (though it is on Windows). It works very similarly to how WINE works to run Windows applications on Linux. The app binary is mapped into memory and imports are resolved to point to my own implementation of the various APIs needed. iOS actually uses a few open APIs already, which Playbook supports just as well (GL ES, and OpenAL). The bulk of the work has been in implementing all of the objective C classes that are required. The ARM code of the applications run as-is – the armv6/v7 support on PB/iDevices are pretty much identical, and the code is designed to run in USR mode. No SWIs, GPIO accesses or any of that kind of shenanigans.
RIM nu va permite tabletei Playbook sa ruleze aplicatii pentru iOS, insa ceea ce a reusit comunitatea din jurul RIM este foarte interesant.
UPDATE: Se pare ca aplicatiile pentru iOS pot rula si pe Windows.
