Blackberry Apps on Windows Mobile! Really??

Pictures are convincing, but a video, as it goes, seals the deal: Blackberry apps appear to be running on WinMo. But how? And more importantly, why?

It turns out that this is probably a leak of an official RIM project, called BlackBerry Application Suite. CrackBerry dug up a year-and-a-half-old presser from the company describing its intentions:

[RIM plans to] expand its support for Windows Mobile®-based devices with a new software application suite that will enable devices from third-party manufacturers to benefit from the popular BlackBerry® software applications and services.

Hmm.. is Blackberry losing market share to other smartphones? Well whats the next best thing to have? Yes you guessed it, a virtual Blackberry OS running on top of the aging Windows Mobile OS with all its bells and whistles.

And no, not just a theme, or a simple application, from what it seems it doesn't even take u to the core WM OS when u choose to run one of the built in apps like settings or dialer, its all Blackberry.

For starters as legit as it looks, i'm not even sure if its true, besides running a whole big application like this all the time might not be battery/performance friendly with most phones. But i gotta hand it out to blackberry, lots of people will end up installing it to give it a shot & when they get used to the new Blackberry UI sleek experience, u know it, their next purchase might as well be a Blackberry. A great way to build up market share again. So go ahead suckers, make sure to try it out IF it ever comes out. - Sarwat
