Android app player for playbook leaked

The Android App Player for the BlackBerry PlayBook has leaked out, allowing curious gadget enthusiasts an early hands-on with the (still underdeveloped) software. For those unaware, the Android App Player is the software which will allow the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet to run Android applications - at least those apps that developers have specifically ported over to the PlayBook.
RIM, having become aware of the leak yesterday, warned users to "refrain from downloading and installing this software since it is outdated and non-functional in many respects." RIM's right, of course - the software is broken and buggy. But refrain from installing? That's no fun! Especially since some folks have already figured out how to get Android apps up and running on the PlayBook, including email.
