Updated: Is Google Play Store Landing on BlackBerry 10.2.1?

Update: As far as I know this has been confirmed as a hoax. Sorry guys!

1Well to say there haven’t been some fueled discussions about this in some of my groups would be a lie.  From the optimist who wants to see this land on the BlackBerry 10 platform, to the other who don;t believe it will ever happen.  Not to mention the huge security risks.

With the release of the 102.1 OS update which is supposedly in internal testing with a new Android Runtime, the Google Play Store will be installable on the OS, and would allow the everyday users access to a plethora of Android apps.  Making sideloading obsolete.

Now please take this and these images with a grain of salt.  This is all in rumour status right now.  As we have seen in the past, developers make fake apps to get hype in the community.

Please chime in below and let us know how you feel about this.  Is it a cop out because developers do not see the value of developing native apps for BlackBerry 10? Or is is BlackBerry working to complete a promise? Would you rather just have an Android device if you wanted Android?
